Dear OMFPOA Members,

We are excited to announce the revival of our Social Media Committee! Previously, our committee played a crucial role in designing and sharing public education content across our social media platforms. Due to recent changes in personnel, the committee has been on hiatus, and we are now eager to rebuild this vital team with your help!

Are you passionate about social media? Do you have a creative spark? Join us in creating engaging and informative social media posts that will benefit fire departments across Ontario. The content we create will be made available for use by our member departments, helping them to educate their communities on fire safety and prevention effectively.

As a volunteer, you will work with a dynamic team to enhance our online presence and contribute to public safety education. Your efforts will directly support fire departments in delivering crucial information to the public.

If you’re an OMFPOA member and interested in making a difference, please get in touch with President Vince Tripp at vince.tripp@richmondhill.ca.

Together, we can make our social media presence stronger than ever!
