Whereas Bill 15, “An Act to Proclaim First Responders Day” was adopted by the Legislature of Ontario on December 10th, 2013 designating May 1st of each year as ‘First Responders Day’ in the Province of Ontario; and
Whereas First Responders are those men and women who, in the early stages of an emergency, are responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence and the environment; and
Whereas First Responders include police officers, firefighters, paramedics, medical evacuation pilots, dispatchers, nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians, military personnel, road maintenance personnel and emergency managers; and
Whereas First Responders are both volunteers and professionals who dedicate their lives to public service, and whose skills often make the difference between life and death; and
Whereas the services, dedication and commitment of First Responders deserves to be recognized and honoured; and
Whereas the Town of Arnprior employs or contracts the services of many First Responders;
Now Therefore, I, Lisa McGee, Mayor of Arnprior, do hereby proclaim May 1st, 2023 as “First Responders Day” in the Town of Arnprior and urge all residents to thank those men and women who have dedicated their lives to keeping our community and homes safe and protected.
Lisa McGee, Mayor
