Whitby Firefighters

The Whitby Professional Firefighters’ Association is proud to endorse Matt Cardwell for West Ward Councillor.

Over the years, we’ve built a strong and longstanding relationship with Matt based on open communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to making Whitby a better and safer community.

Matt has consistently demonstrated that he listens, understands the issues facing our growing community, and is prepared to advocate for the investments and services residents need.

One clear example has been his leadership in championing a new fire station for West Whitby and supporting the firefighters needed to staff it.

As West Whitby continued to grow, Matt recognized the public safety concern and supported a solution that improves emergency response and helps move Whitby toward recognized standards such as NFPA 1710.

But our support for Matt goes beyond any one issue. We value his accessibility, his willingness to have honest conversations, and the strong working relationship we have developed with him over many years.

Matt Cardwell has demonstrated his commitment to West Whitby and to the people who call it home.

We’re proud to support Matt Cardwell for West Ward Councillor.

Being your Whitby Firefighters is about more than responding when the alarm sounds.

It’s also about being apart of the community we serve and being there for the moments that bring Whitby together.

Mayor Elizabeth Roy understands the value of that connection and has consistently supported the work our firefighters do both inside and outside the fire hall.

Strong communities are built by people who show up for one another, and we’re proud to support leadership that shares that commitment to Whitby.

Your Whitby Firefighters were proud to take part in the annual Mayor and Council Golf Tournament in support of the Mayor’s Community Development Fund.

The Mayor’s Community Development Fund supports local organizations making a meaningful difference in Whitby, and we were grateful for the opportunity to take part in an event that gives back to the community we are so proud to serve.

Thank you to Mayor Elizabeth Roy, Council, organizers, sponsors and volunteers for putting together another great tournament!

At each IAFF Convention, we take time to honour and remember our fallen brothers and sisters from across the International who have passed away since the previous Convention.

This year, we proudly remember two of our own, Alan Marchand and William Pleshe.

We are grateful for their years of service and the impact they made on Local 2036 and the community of Whitby.

Thank you brothers for making the ultimate sacrifice, you will not be forgotten.

Some projects mean more than bricks and stone.

The Whitby Firefighter Memorial is a place to honour the service and sacrifice of those who came before us, ensuring their legacy is never forgotten.

After more than a decade of work to bring this memorial to life, having leaders who understood its importance and helped move it forward made a meaningful difference.

Mayor Elizabeth Roy’s support helped turn a long standing vision into a permanent place of remembrance for Whitby’s firefighters, their families, and our community.

We’re proud to support a Mayor who recognizes the importance of honouring our past while continuing to stand behind those who serve Whitby today.
