Fire Service Women Ontario is honoured to recognize the Vice-President of the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs and Rama Fire Rescue Service Chief Jeremy Parkin for his exceptional contributions with the 2024 FSWO Diversity and Inclusion Award.
Fire Service Women Ontario is launching a spring 2024 membership campaign for Ontario fire departments. Benefits of membership include training and development opportunities, networking, advocacy for gender equity, and membership. Affordable memberships are available for departments of all sizes.
In the next year, I will work to further the FSWO mission to educate, empower and encourage women in the Ontario fire service.

Assistant Division Chief Cassandra Greer has dedicated an enormous amount of time and energy to women and men within her union. She is a fierce labour advocate and has worked to bridge the gap between labour rights and women’s rights in our male-dominated profession.
