We started the year with 4 priorities regarding firefighter cancer coverage, and today the final 2 have been addressed by the government.
Today we celebrate a milestone in firefighter health and safety. The passing of new legislation that reduces the required time worked for many skin cancers from 15, down to 10 years.
At 1pm on Sunday, October 6th, Ontario’s fallen firefighters will be honoured for their bravery, heroism, and sacrifice at a special ceremony held at the Ontario Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial located on the southeast corner of Queens Park.
On April 29, 2024, the Ontario government announced their intent to introduce legislation that, if passed, will expand presumptive coverage for skin cancer - lowering the service time required for firefighters to receive compensation from 15 to 10 years, bringing Ontario to the lowest required duration of service in the country.
On April 5th, the Ontario government announced its $3.18 million investment in the Ontario Immediate Family Wellness Program. This program is aimed at supporting the families of first responders who are killed in the line of duty or have died by suicide. The funding will provide free rapid bereavement counselling for up to two years following the death of a loved one.
