33rd Annual Wildwood VFD Firefighter Appreciation Dinner

Last night - it was my honour along with Cariboo-North MLA Coralee Oakes to attend the 33rd Annual Wildwood VFD Firefighter Appreciation Dinner.

After the most excellent meal prepared, I spoke to the gathering thanking all of the firefighters in the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) for their public service in keeping their community safe.  Stephanie Masun who is the Cariboo Regional District's Manager of Protective Services also spoke.  I also presented service pins to several Wildwood VFD firefighters recognizing their length of service

It was also my great pleasure and pride to present a special award from the Governor-General of Canada thanked Wildwood VFD Fire Chief Randy Worsley for his 30 years of exemplary fire service to the community of Wildwood.  He was previously recognized by the Cariboo Regional District earlier this year for his 30 years of service to the Wildwood VFD with the presentation of his 30th Fire Axe

On behalf of the people of Wildwood, Deep Creek and half of Fox Mountain who receives Fire Protection and First Responder Services from the Wildwood VFD - our collective appreciation/gratitude to the firefighters/officers of the Wildwood VFD.  Your dedication to your craft and public service to the Wildwood VFD Fire Protection District is greatly appreciated and we are collectively thankful that you willingly give up your time to providing such a basic public service...
