Standing alongside the families and colleagues of our fallen at the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Memorial was deeply moving. Thank you @CanFirefighters for honouring their memory and service. The dedication and sacrifice of our @torontofire.bsky.social members will never be forgotten.

May 21st will always hold meaning for me. It marks the day I graduated from the Toronto Fire Academy. Beside me, Platoon Chief Sinclair, now gone but never forgotten. The years have brought change, but the mission remains: serve and protect the great city of #Toronto.

I spent some of #InternationalFirefightersDay with Captain George McCauley of Toronto Fire Department. Our families are connected through service. Born in 1929, he’s an accomplished rower who competed at the ‘52 Helsinki Olympics. Thank you for representing #Toronto and #Canada, Captain McCauley!
