Municipalities of South Huron and

In Bruce County,
highlights include $70,000
apiece for Kincardine and
Saugeen Shores.
In addition, Ontario Fire
Marshall Bernard Moyle has
developed a training plan in
co-operation with provincial
fire co-ordinators to ensure
that training opportunities
are made available to fire
departments.
"This program responds to
a real need among fire services across
Ontario," Moyle said. "It provides fire
services with the flexibility to tailor the
funding for local needs so that they may
continue to deliver outstanding service to
the people of this province."
Steve Cooke, fire chief for Central
Huron, said the money, which arrives in
the form of an unconditional grant that
must be used within the province's fiscal
year, will primarily be used for training.
Huron East fire chief Marty Bedard
said the county's fire chiefs will be
meeting to determine how to use the
money.
"There's a possibility of running a
series of training sessions at the Blyth
the
North
facility. It's be silly for us to not take
advantage of that facility," added Cooke.
He is pleased to see North Huron
received a sizable chunk
given that Blyth is now
home to a top-notch

North Huron fire chief
Paul Josling notes the site
is becoming increasingly
popular and that 25
firefighters were trained in
Blyth last week.
Central Huron Reeve Bert
Dykstra, who was also on
hand for the ceremony,
said the money will come in especially
handy given that a few Central Huron
firefighters are retiring and new recruits
will require intensive training.
"I think this money will be really
appreciated by our volunteer
firefighters," he said, adding it is nice to
see the province is recognizing the
sacrifices made by volunteer firefighters
on behalf of their respective
communities.
"I'm sure it will be used and well
used," he said.
Rural and small communities under
10,000 populations will receive 41 per
cent of the total fund of $30 million.
