Northern Bruce Peninsula is recognizing four local firefighters for their years of service.
Mayor Milt McIver and Fire Chief Jack Burt presented medals to the four firefighters during a council meeting on March 24.
After 20 years of service, Mark Hewton, Raywood Plumb, Jeff Catley, and Andrew Vogan were each awarded the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal.
Hewton and Plumb were also awarded the Provincial Long Service Medal for 25 years of service.
Burt was also recognized at council after he was recently awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal in Owen Sound earlier this month.
“On behalf of council and all of our residents, we want to thank you for your commitment and dedication to our volunteer fire service. Being a volunteer, it is not their regular job, but they are called upon at any time, be it Saturday, Sunday, stat holiday to respond to emergencies in our community and not only to our residents, but as we know, we have a large number of people visiting the area as well. They respond to all of those as well. Not only that, they do much more, they are involved in several community events, and they are just great community people,” says McIver.
