Where firefighters come to talk training

Recruiting and retaining volunteers?

We like others are in need of ideas on how to recruit and retain our volunteer members. 87% of the province of BC is covered by volunteers but with commitments to family and jobs it is getting harder to attract and keep members, not to mention the cost of going paid on call or full career. Any ideas you folks may have would be appreciated.
