Mr. Speaker,
I rise in this House today to recognize the St. Anthony
Volunteer Fire Department and to thank them for the
tremendous service they provide to St. Anthony and the
surrounding area.
Mr. Speaker,
this group of dedicated volunteers, including the
firefighters who risk their lives to save life and
property, and the firettes who work behind the scenes on
fundraising projects to provide the equipment for them
to do their job, are a part of the best equipped
volunteer fire department in the Province.
This year, in
addition to responding to fire calls, rescue assistance
and accident calls, members have completed thirty-nine
training sessions and are working on getting all members
to level one status for the new year.
Mr. Speaker,
the St. Anthony Volunteer Fire Department celebrated its
volunteers on November 21 at the Annual Firefighters
Appreciation Supper where a number of awards were passed
out. Captain Harvey Richards was named Officer of the
Year; Bonnie Hynes was names Firefighter of the Year;
while Mike Boiduk was runner-up; and Josh Slade, second
runner-up.
Mr. Speaker,
I ask all members of this House to join with me in
congratulating members of the St. Anthony Volunteer Fire
Department for their commitment to their community,
region and Province with best wishes for continued
success.
Thank you,
Mr. Speaker. |
