May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
As firefighters, you dedicate yourselves to protecting your communities every day. This month is a reminder to also take care of yourselves and each other.
Protect your mind like you protect your community.

🔥 We're proud of the work our affiliates do across Canada each year in support of Muscular Dystrophy Canada and its mission. Thank you!
Across Canada, Fire Fighters have been part of the neuromuscular community for generations. Since 1954, you’ve shown up in ways that go far beyond your role. From organizing #FillTheBoot drives to hosting stair climbs, truck pulls, and pancake breakfasts, you bring your communities together to support our mission and help break down barriers for Canadians affected by neuromuscular disorders. Through your efforts, you continue to raise critical funds that: 🧬help fund research 🦼provide life-changing equipment ✅connect individuals and families to the programs and services they rely on ✅lead policy change Because of you, Canadians can access the support they need, when they need it. People can navigate their diagnosis with more certainty. And individuals living with neuromuscular disorders can move through life with greater independence and dignity. For our community, your support goes beyond fundraising. It’s the reassurance of knowing that, year after year, you continue to show up. That consistency means more than words can fully express. On #InternationalFireFightersDay, we thank our Fire Fighter partners who continue to support the neuromuscular community and help #BreakDownBarriers. @IAFFCanada

Supporting Ontario’s fire services starts with showing up, visiting fire halls, and listening to the priorities of our firefighters. Today, alongside MPP Jess Dixon , I had the pleasure of visiting @KitchenerFire, @Waterloo_Fire, and @GuelphFire to listen and learn from the men and women who protect their communities every day. My message was simple: our government hears you, we will continue to take action, and we will always have your backs. @ONFireChiefs@opffa@GPFFA467@WPFFA791@KitchFire

I had the chance to meet with some incredible first responders at the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association conference earlier today. It’s always great to hear about how we can support our fire-fighting heroes as they protect our homes and communities.
