Ontario Government Improves Fire SafetyNew funding for Ontario’s Fire Services |
|||||||
| Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Monte Kwinter recently announced a province wide initiative to help Ontario municipalities better protect residents, by providing funding to municipal fire departments for training and equipment for the first time in more than 20 years. This unprecedented one-time funding, totaling a $30 million Ontario Fire Service Grant, will be distributed to municipalities’ fire departments to meet training needs and where appropriate, purchase new equipment. This move, recognizes that municipalities, particularly in rural areas, require additional support to provide high-quality fire protection, while at the same time, ensuring that firefighters in the province have the training and tools they need to do their job and help minimize the risk of personal harm. For more information on this Grant, or to view a copy of the original news release, visit the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services website at www.mpss.jus.gov.on.ca. |
