Big things are happening in Whitby!
This spring, your Whitby firefighters are participating in the largest captains promotional process in the history of the department!
Over the coming weeks, more than 25 firefighters will take part in a series of rigorous assessments.
These assessments include a written exam to test their knowledge, a tactical evaluation of their ability to manage emergency calls, and an interview process designed to assess their readiness for the next stage of their careers.
All of this to reach our goal of serving our community of Whitby at the highest level, now and into the future!
Best of luck to everyone taking part in the process, you make us proud! 🚒💪

This week in Ottawa, members of Whitby Professional Fire Fighters Association Local 2036 Government Relations Committee Members joined colleagues from across Canada at the 33rd IAFF Canadian Legislative Conference.
Hosted by the International Association of Fire Fighters, this annual event gives firefighters the opportunity to meet directly with federal leaders to discuss issues that impact public safety and emergency services.
While there, our team met with Whitby MP Ryan Turnbull to discuss priorities that are increasingly impacting both our members and the communities we serve.
Key conversations included the growing risks associated with lithium-ion battery fires and the need for better national tracking and training, as well as ensuring fair and up-to-date support for families of fallen firefighters.
We’ll continue advocating for the resources and protections needed to keep both our members and our community safe.

This prestigious national program brings together emerging leaders from across the country to grow, connect, and strengthen their leadership capabilities.
As part of the program, Joshua will be traveling to Nunavut to further develop his leadership skills in decision making, strengthen his problem solving abilities, and broaden his perspective through collaboration with other leaders from all across Canada.
We are proud and excited for Joshua and look forward to the knowledge and insight he will bring back to our team and community.
