Amazing week!!

Sue Jones, training officer with Ottawa Fire Services, says Camp FFIT (Female Firefighters in Training) shows girls aged 15 to 19 the skills needed for firefighting. Charlotte Poll,15, says it’s a positive atmosphere to learn in.

We had an opportunity to chat with Sam Laprade from City News last week!

Camp FFIT – Female Firefighters in Training – aims to introduce more women to firefighting, which has traditionally been a male dominated field.

Amazing, Marisa!!
Camp Alum, Marisa Tremblay came to our very first Camp in 2010 at 16 and just kept working hard towards her goal until she was hired as a fulltime Ottawa firefighter in 2019, and there’s no slowing her down!!

Proud of you, Marisa, all of your teammates! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

On International Women's Day, Iqaluit's fire department held its first shift staffed entirely by women. It was a poignant moment for Sharon Nowlan, the department's lieutenant and acting captain.
