An Act to proclaim

Firefighters' Memorial Day

Preamble

Fire fighting is known as one of the most dangerous professions.

Firefighters working on behalf of the people of this Province are called upon

to take extraordinary risks every day in order to protect the public from the

dangers posed by fires and other life-threatening situations. Many

firefighters have given their lives in the performance of their duties.

Given the enormous commitment which the firefighters in this Province have

demonstrated repeatedly to the people of Ontario, it is appropriate to

proclaim a memorial day to commemorate those firefighters who have fallen in

the line of duty. This day will provide an opportunity for all Ontarians to

honour and recognize the important contribution these people made to

preserving our safety and well-being.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the

Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Firefighters' Memorial Day

1. The first Sunday in October in each year is proclaimed

as Firefighters' Memorial Day.

Commencement

2. This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal

Assent.

3. The

short title of this Act is the Firefighters' Memorial

Day Act, 2000 .
