Thank you to the Pickering Professional Firefighters Association for discussing with me the priorities in the Safe Restart Agreement and vaccine sequencing to ...include firefighters as emergency healthcare providers. It’s still strange not to have meetings in person so of course I forgot to take a picture. Here is one from last year, just need to figure out how to photoshop Eric into it. It was a great discussion and I appreciate so much the work of our first responders who are risking their own health and safety to keep our communities safe. Thank you for the work you do!
