Fire Prevention Message From Whitby Fire Department Chairman Joy Thompson Year 1975 The Whitby Pire Department's excellent Public Rela- tions hias paid dividends. The Training Courses have been extremely well attended, in fact, public participation hias reached an aIl time high. The Aduit Training Program graduated 50 participants in ail aspects of home safety. The Junior Pire Departmen t hiad 160 young people who participated in a two week scaled down version of the Fire Fighters Recruit Program.. The First A id Course had an attendance of 52 aduits and 40 Girl Guides received their Fireman s Badge. The above figures prove that the public is beeomi ng more aware of the need for safety in the home. It hias been, for me, a very personal, rewarding exper- ience Io have had the opportunity to work with Ontarîo's top Pire Department for the past year and lt is my hope that the statisties quoted here wili be doubled in 19 76 and I would like to sec a 100% participation in the 1975 Fire Prevention Week in Whitby. Yours very sincerely, Counicillor Jqv Thompson 1976 Conventions The Whitby Fire Department is proud to be the host departient for the 1976 Conventions of the Ontario Fire Chiefs' Association and the Ontario Fire Fighters' Association.
