Hello Fellow Canadians, just joined.
I didn't realize we had our own forum on here, my bad I guess.
Just wanted to tell you all that the Calgary Fire Department & Alberta Vehicle Extrication Association will be hosting the 26th Annual North American Vehicle Rescue Challenge September 19th-25th 2010.this will include a two day Big Rig Rescue Symposium, two day trade show and training sessions and four days of extrication challenge. I have an "alternate team" opportunity to fill spots if a qualifing team cannot attend the challenge.

Thanks

I am open to the idea, we need to work with the Feds in Canada over the work rights rules...that has always been the hang up

Yeah, that sounds pretty good, FDIC NORTH! I could even get some of those Montreal brothers in on that.

Mr Halton you may be an American citizens but you represent all firefighters in North America and more so.

We are honoured to have you part. Now we just need to work on a FDIC in Southern Ontario :L)

You should be very proud of your son. I am a former Canadian and British infantry soldier. I still have lots of buddies doing the business in Afghanistan.
Great to have you on board Chief. We need more Ray and Champ training minutes!
When are you coming out to one of our Brotherhood Instructors classes?

I hope it is OK I joined this group even though I am an American, your sons have provided ground fire to protect my son as he flew his helicopter. So as far as I am concerned we are one nation under God!
