Funding for Canadian Fallen Firefighter's Memorial

[bcfire]

Hello everyone, Canadian Fallen Firefighter's Foundation is at a
critical stage with the federal government reguarding funding for a
national memorial site for Canada's fire service in Ottawa. All of
Canada's firefighters need to send a simple letter or e-mail expressing
support for a national monument to;

Hon Bev Oda,
Minister of Heritage
House of Commons
Ottawa, Ont.
K1A0A6
Or e-mail
Oda.B@parl.gc.ca
Members of the general public who support the fire service could as well, of course.

Thanks Scuba,support is very critical at this time.Stockwell Day has assisted since the Sept ceremony and briefed Ms Oda,the PM has had bunkergear on and been in the heat. Those who support the creation of a national memorial site for all of Canada's fallen firefighters should let the government know now. The opportunity has never been as close as it is now.Thanks to all who follow through.BCFIRE

Dear Mr. Scuba:

Thank you for your correspondence supporting the creation of a Canadian Firefighters Memorial. Please excuse the delay of my reply.

I appreciate your advising me of your interest in this matter. The Government of Canada recognizes the tremendous contributions and sacrifices of firefighters, particularly those who have died in the line of duty in Canada.

Please be assured that the Department of Canadian Heritage will continue to work closely with the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation and other key partners to evaluate the feasibility of establishing this proposed national memorial.

I trust that this information is useful. Please accept my best wishes.


Yours sincerely,





Bev Oda, P.C., M.P.
