3 -2.3 The Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs' 1995 Conference was held in Belleville this
year from May 7 - 11th. One of the key issues that stemmed from the conference
was the need for a review of the Fire Department Act. The executive of the
O.A.F.C. will be approaching the new provincial government in an attempt to get
this review started within 18 months.
I will be serving on a Professional Development Committee. The mandate of this '
committee is to establish criteria for the professional development of members of
the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs.
