Twenty-five years later, we remember.
On September 11, 2001, 3,000 lives were lost, including 343 FDNY firefighters. Hundreds of Canadians, including firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and volunteers, assisted in the recovery effort that followed.
We honour the fallen, support those still living with the impacts of that day, and ensure the sacrifices made on September 11 are never forgotten. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

The climb ended. The remembrance continued. 🚒 At 9:59 a.m., our brothers and sisters across all 9 Oakville fire stations observed a minute of silence. This was the scene at Station 3. We remember the 2,977 lives lost, including 343 firefighters. #NeverForget #911

CAO doesn't dispute lack of training or equipment but asks the public to remain confident in their fire service. How can they if they now know they are not properly trained. Shame! Firefighters’ union unhappy with C-K oversight chathamvoice.com/2026/09/09/… via @The Chatham Voice

CAO hides behind ‘bargaing’ but the concerns are not issues for negotiations. He doesn’t dispute our claims just diverts. It’s simple. If you send our members to these types of emergencies give them the proper training & equipment. Chatham Daily News chathamdailynews.ca/news/loc… via @
