Union Membership – OPFFA Locals
Fire Service Women Ontario (FSWO) offers union membership eligibility to all Locals of the Ontario Professional Firefighter’s Association (OPFFA). This membership option is designed to support Locals committed to advancing gender equity, leadership development, and professional growth for their members at every rank—from probationary firefighters to executive officers.
Union memberships include up to 20 individual members and may encompass any number of personnel within a Local. The minimum number of memberships with voting rights is determined based on the size of the Local’s association membership, ensuring proportional representation and active engagement within FSWO’s governance and strategic direction.
By joining FSWO as a Local, your union supports inclusive training opportunities, mentorship programs, networking events, and access to equity-focused resources that benefit your entire membership. This partnership empowers Locals to strengthen internal leadership, promote diversity, and support meaningful cultural change within the fire service.
