Thank you for all that you do!
Today on May 1 we honour first responders as recognized in the First Responders Day Act, 2013.
Per the Act, first responders are those men and women who, in the early stages of an emergency, are responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence and the environment. They include police officers, firefighters, military personnel, paramedics, medical evacuation pilots, dispatchers, nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians and emergency managers.
First responders are volunteers and professionals who have dedicated their lives to public service. Their life-saving skills often make the difference between life and death. Their public service deserves to be recognized and honoured.
Thank you to all first responders throughout Ontario for your dedication to public safety including our partners at Hamilton Fire and the Hamilton Paramedic Services. 🚒🚓🚑
