OMFPOA Symposium Sponsorship Program

The OMFPOA Executive Officers are excited to offer our members the opportunity to apply for the OMFPOA Symposium Sponsorship Program for the 67th Annual Training and Education Symposium.

Supporting our members has always been a priority, and since launching the Annual OMFPOA Symposium Sponsorship Program in 2014, we’ve helped several fire prevention professionals attend the symposium at no cost. This year, we are proud to offer two (2) sponsorships—one funded by the OMFPOA and the other made possible through a grant from the Fire Service Society.

Each sponsorship will cover the Symposium registration fee and accommodations at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites for a member of a Municipal Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Division. Travel expenses are not included.

This is a great opportunity for the selected members to expand their professional network, gain valuable insights, and strengthen fire prevention initiatives in their communities.
