The entire Executive Board of Oshawa Professional Fire Fighters Association is in Kingston for the 29th Annual OPFFA Convention. Proud to represent the members of IAFF Local 465 as firefighters from across Ontario come together to debate, collaborate and shape our future.

Great reminder from our friends at the DRP Association as we head into the long weekend. If you’re celebrating with family and friends, please plan ahead, arrange a safe ride home, and never drink and drive. @OshawaFire @oshawacity @opffa @IAFFCanada

Yesterday, we proudly hosted our annual Retirees Luncheon recognizing the careers & service of Candice Hollingshead, Alan Ulrich, Tanya Norman & Scott Wood. We also celebrated Oshawa Firefighters surpassing $1 million raised for MD Canada over the years.

Today, we proudly celebrate Kelly’s 20 years with the OPFFA!
Since joining the OPFFA in May 2006, Kelly has provided dedicated financial support through budgeting, planning, and assisting members and staff. Beyond her work, she has always brought enthusiasm, positivity, and a friendly face to every event and member interaction.
Whether you attended an OPFFA event, needed help with Concur, purchased a license plate, or needed support along the way, chances are Kelly was there to help.
Thank you, Kelly, for 20 years of dedication and commitment to our members and organization.

OPFFA welcomes today’s announcement that the Fire Protection Grant will double to $20M for 2026/27. This investment strengthens firefighter health & safety and supports municipal fire services across Ontario. Keeping firefighters safe means keeping communities safe. #ONPoli #ONBudget @fordnation @TeamKerzner @G_Horts

When danger strikes, firefighters are the ones who step forward. Their work demands courage, skill, and a deep commitment to protecting our communities. Organizations like the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association help uphold those standards every day. Under the leadership of President Greg Horton, @opffa continues to play a vital role in ensuring firefighters have the training, education, and support they need to stay safe and confident on the job.

Remarks from @DavidPiccini, Ontario’s Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development at the #OPPFA2026 Eric G. Taylor Seminar. Thank you for your ongoing support of firefighters!
