Al, In my opinion an annual inspection would be due 1 year from the last inspection. So in the scenario you described, regardless of why the annual was delayed (pandemic or deliberate) it would be from the July date.  Similarly, a business could have their annual due in June, but their contactor advises them they are booked/unable to attend, but can be there late July or early August and the business owner showed the inspectors the emails ( and monthlies had continued), it would not be an immediate enforcement issue.
we have templates intended for small business such as restaurants and daycares. In the event someone couldn’t use our template or didn’t want to, they can always hire a contractor or create their own.
2005 is a long time ago, even if it was in compliance then,  lots may have changed (or may even have been initially missed).  9.5 would still apply and should be part of your inspection.
it would need to be an assistant to the fire marshal.  unless the bylaw officers have been given that designation in your municipality.  In Durham region bylaw and fire charges are usually heard on separate days anyways.
Fire Prev/Pub Ed staff will review content and recommend changes through the CFPO, but ultimately Corporate/City Hall decides whether something will be posted or promoted.
Nicholas – In Pickering we still run a door to door program in the spring and fall, plus in specific neighborhoods following a fire. The program is taught to all firefighters as being part of their job right from recruit class.  That said I don’t believe there is much resistance to the program here anymore, its just another task that needs to get done.
Annual – Vulnerable occupancies, complaint and request. 2 years – Schools, restaurants, waste and recycling facilities, residential high rise & low rise, mixed use residential, 3 years, office buildings, plazas, industrial plazas, 5 years migrant worker homes
It depends on the event. Canada Day – our busiest event- would require 4 staff, same as a large scale safety day event at a hall. A normal one-table event would be one staff. If the event was anticipated to be busy or of a longer duration (full day) we would staff accordingly by either having two staff or rotating staff..
