THAT Report FD-03-01 be received; and 2.) THAT Council approves the proposed shoulder flash for emergency services personnel. BACKGROUND With the restructuring of the various Municipal departments, which Council approved, the fire department's title was changed. The department is now referred to as Clarington Emergency Services. As a result, and given the existing uniform shoulder flash has been in place since 1974, it was suggested a review of the present flash was necessary. In an attempt to have everyone involved in the new design, a committee was formed and a memo circulated to full and part-time staff inviting suggestions and proposals. Several designs were proposed and after a review and the process of elimination, the proposed uniform flash was presented. The proposed flash retains the contents of the Municipality's shield inside the Maltese Cross, which is the traditional symbol for the fire service. With the approval of Council, the new flash will be ordered and should start to appear on the 2001 uniform issue.
