Dear Members,

The OMFPOA Executive Officers are encouraging our members to take advantage of the OFMPOA Symposium Sponsorship Program for the 66th Annual Training and Education Symposium which will be held September 9 – 12, 2024 at the Sheraton Parkway North Toronto (located at 600 Hwy 7, Richmond Hill, ON).

First introduced in 2014, this program has allowed several members to attend the annual symposium free of charge.
For 2024, we will be offering two packages to send one member of the Fire Prevention Division from two separate municipal fire departments to the Symposium.

The first package will be sponsored by the OMFPOA. The second package is made possible from a grant made to the OMFPOA by the Fire Service Society to support fire prevention activities in the Province of Ontario.

Both packages cover the cost of the Symposium plus accommodations at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North. Note that transportation costs to and from the Symposium are not covered.

We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to obtain valuable information and to further build your professional network.

Criteria for Applying:
Any Provincial Fire Department can apply by completing the application form. However they must be in good standing with the OMFPOA.
Complete the application form by July 22, 2024 and send to Don Casey at: don.casey@mississauga.ca.
