2.2
3 -2.2 The third annual Junior Firefighters Program was once again a successful event.
Comments received from parents of the participants were all very complimentary
and positive. This year we added a trip to the Firefighter's Museum in Port Hope
and also a talk about illegal drugs, by an officer from the local detachment of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The department would like thank St. Mary's
Cement, Goodyear Rubber Inc., Canadian Tire and Ontario Hydro for their
generous donations. Without them we would not be able to provide this program.
Also, our thanks go out to the many local merchants who go out of their way to
make sure the merchandise we need is available to us and sometimes at a
moment's notice.
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 It is respectfully recommended that report FD-11-97 be received for information.
