Wishing a happy International Women's Day to all the strong and dedicated women who help make the fire service and this union great! #InternationalWomensDay

Extremely proud of all the healthcare staff and first responders in our community that stepped up to stop the spread of COVID 19 by getting the vaccine. Everyone of our Local 1276 members has currently received the first dose. That’s right 100% of our members believe in it. That puts us in a fantastic spot to continue to support our community. #renfrewcounty #communityhealth #covid19vacccine #covid19vaccinedistribution... #PfizerCOVID19Vacccine See more

Condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of RCMP Cst Jasmine Thiara #64971. Say her name. She'll get no parade, no medal. She'll be barely mentioned in the public news because of how she died. PTSD can be deadly.

**Hey all Just like to give a shout out to the Advertisers at the Ski Hill , Interested in having one shoot me a message.

Driving in winter can be dangerous if you are not prepared. IAFF Canada - AIP Ontario Government #IAFFsafetytips

Tragic loss! So much life in front of him so needlessly taken away. Our thoughts are with his family and fellow officers.

Silvie Park and Hill Park rinks freshly flooded for the day

Huge shout out to Eric McQuestion and his staff for putting together the skate track at grouse park.

Hill park rink took a beating yesterday so we will be flooding it a bunch of times today. Silvie park is in excellent shape if your looking to get out on the ice.

We just cleared and flooded hill park rink. Although we are encouraging it be used today we are asking for everyone to please stay off until around 2 today to let the water freeze. Enjoy and have fun!

Silvie and Hill Park ODR’s shaping up nicely. Give it an hour and get out there and try your new skates Santa brought.

Merry Christmas! To all those working, stay safe!

Great work boys!

The holidays are often a flurry of activities and a lot of it revolves around cooking. Cooking accidents and home fires due to cooking equipment are most likely... to happen during this time. Keep your home and your loved ones safe this holiday season. #IAFFSafetyTips Ontario Government IAFF Canada - AIP

From my good friend and senior firefighter on my crew - Thanks Dave! #unitediaff #freshstart

Just wanted to let you know that there is an Angel Tree at Deep River Family Chiropractic. There are also trees located at Scotiabank, BMO, Santa Fe, Canadian ...Tire, & IDA. Please feel free to pick up an angel, purchase a gift for the age/gender on your angel. Another option is to go ahead and purchase a gift (we are still short on children's toys) and put a sticky note on it with the general age/gender (i.e. boy, 7-9 yrs) of the child. Please deliver unwrapped to the Deep River Fire Hall or Laurentian Hills Town Hall by Friday, December 11th. The organizers are working hard to keep the Christmas Basket Program going and hoping it will be as successful as previous years, so thank YOU very much if you took the time to purchase a gift or plan to do so this week See more

If we could all take a Moment to Thank Deep River Police for the Job they Do. And they do it EVERYDAY without prejudice!! We can call on ALL our Officers and ...know they will protect us no matter what race we are!!! And in Todays world that Call could mean life or death, Innocent or not!!! Thank you Deep River Police job well done!! See more

Thank you for the kind words. We are always willing to help out in any emergency or non emergency situation that we can. When you smell gas at your residence or workplace the Deep River Fire Department encourages you to exit the structure and call 911 from a safe location and provide the operator with information they may request

REASONS WHY I LOVE DEEP RIVER. As an import to this quirky little town, I have loved this beautiful and wild place since the day I followed my sweetheart home. ...But since COVID has hit and the world has been left stumbling and scrambling to find its feet, I have felt even more blessed and immensely privileged to call Deep River home. This community is such an anomaly!!! All the perks of small town living, without almost any of the typical rural drawbacks. I have yet to come across a community of this size with so many different languages spoken, so many different ethnicities, beliefs and backgrounds to be found. We have a mosque!! We welcome newcomers!! Do you know how rare it is for a small rural town to be so inclusive?? How needed and necessary and uplifting that is??!! Scientists and physicists and engineers from alllllll over the world settle here. There is so much intellect and ideas floating around, so many cool conversations and discussions being had. We have a Symphony Orchestra! Guys, we live in a town of 4500 people and we have the THEOP!! Most small towns this size are lucky to have a gas station nearby, but we have theatre and art and creative expression to celebrate and enjoy. Our library!!!! OMG, its so lovely and sweet and beautiful. Overlooking the gorgeous river. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and helpful and we have access to an abundance of amazing books and free programming. We are sooo lucky for this place. Our grocery store is amazing!!! It honestly makes me happy every single time I walk into Jan's. It's clean and bright and FULL of incredible food. All the healthy and delicious fruits and vegetables we could ever possibly need or want. The staff is always so friendly and lovely and even thru a pandemic, they have shown so much grace and gumption and I am deeply humbled by all of them. Okay, whoa. Our beaches!! We have the best beaches in Ontario. And we have THREE OF THEM. Not only is the sand immaculate, the water deep and clean, with no garbage floating along the shoreline...but they are also QUIET AND EMPTY. Calm and serene. Usually not a soul in sight. People pay millions of dollars to live close to and fight for space on terrible beaches just a few hours from here. How insanely blessed are we??? It's unbelievably safe. We have our own police department, our own fire department, our own hospital and paramedics. It's easy to take these services for granted if you live in the city, but for a town this size to have all these supports, we are sooooo fortunate. Our clubs!! The Yacht and Tennis Club. Tai Chi. Squash and Curling. Hockey. Karate. Swimming. Pottery. Woodworking. And on and on and on. So many people are active and healthy!!! Folks are always walking around, skiing on the trails, biking in the woods, running along the waterfront. Its cool and inspiring to see such a small community getting outside and prioritizing their health and wellness. Downhill skiing!! Say what??? How cute and awesome and charming is Mount Martin??? Our wild spaces are astonishingly beautiful. The Four Seasons Trails are INSANE. Every season, those trails are groomed and gorgeous and accessible to everyone. Walk 5 minutes from your doorstep and you are in the woods, breathing pristine fresh air. No crowds. No garbage. Just Mama Nature in all her glory. We look out for each other. The man at the marina is my sons teacher. The woman beside us on the beach is my daughters tutor. The lady we pass while walking at night works at the post office. The woman who runs past my house every day is a cashier at the grocery store. We all say hello, we all recognize eachother and I believe, we all look out for one another, too. Is it perfect here? Hell no. Show me a place that is. But we are all so incredibly blessed. Like, more fortunate than 95% of the world's population. Clean water, fresh air, real food. I’d love to hear why you love our little town too!!!! xoxo

Sad day for the Snowbirds and the RCAF. Our thoughts are with the members and their families. These men and women put so many smiles on Canadian’s and the worlds faces with their performances. Thank you for your service.

Our thoughts are with our brothers and sisters of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families this morning.
