Haldimand County Firefighters Vintage Calendar Raises Over $1,000 for Local Fire Associations

Last year, I had the privilege of photographing antique fire trucks and vintage firefighting equipment from stations across Haldimand County for the 2026 Haldimand County Firefighters Vintage Calendar.

For every calendar sold, $5 was donated directly to the Firefighters Associations throughout Haldimand County. Thanks to the incredible support of the community, a total of $1,050 was raised.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who purchased a calendar, as well as those who donated above and beyond the purchase price. Your generosity helped make this project a success.

A special thank you goes out to the fire chiefs, firefighters, volunteers, and everyone who assisted in moving equipment and coordinating access so that each photograph could be captured. Their cooperation and support were invaluable throughout the project.

Most importantly, I would like to recognize all of the firefighters and volunteers for their dedication and commitment to protecting our communities every day.

Thank you again to everyone who supported this worthwhile cause.

Today some of the Caledonia Firefighters Association members traveled to Haldimand Station #3 in Jarvis for the 2nd annual Haldimand Firefighters Challenge. This event is put on by the Haldimand County Fire Department and hosted by a different hall each year. The Firefighter Challenge games are open to all members of the Haldimand County Fire Department to compete in. The games include several different events such as a relay race, a fire truck pull and the team building ski race to name a few. Our team had a great day and came home with the championship winning the title today. Way to go team!!!

Some videos in the comments.

Thanks to the Jarvis Firefighters Association for hosting and your hospitality, it was a great day.

On April 18th the Caledonia Firefighters Association had the honour of participating in the Caledonia Chili Cook-Off hosted by the Caledonia Knights of Columbus. The event was a huge Success raising $55000 for local families with children facing major health challenges. There were so many supporters that attended that the organizers are thinking one day they may need to find a bigger venue, what a great problem to have.

The Caledonia Firefighters are proud to be a part of such a great event and we thank the community for coming out to support it, the volunteers who help or participate in the Chili making and the organizers. This type event is what makes our community great.
