It is tradition at HIFR to acknowledge those volunteers who attended 50 or more calls in the previous calendar year. These awards are usually handed out at our Christmas party but we weren’t able to have a banquet this year.
With ten hours left before the year ends, here are the dedicated members of HIFR who went on at least fifty calls in 2020:
- Lt. Rob Lewis with 74 calls
- Deputy Chief Albini Lapierre with 51 calls
- Paula Courteau with 56 calls
Join me in thanking them for their intense commitment to HIFR and our community.
We went to 170 calls in 2020 but HIFR members attended an astounding number of individual events. Adding up the total number of training sessions, practices, meetings, public service events, and call outs that we went to, I arrive at 1559 person-events!
Everyone here has a different reason for putting in the time that they do, but the support that we receive from our community is a driving factor for so many of us. Thank you and Happy New Year to all of Hornby Island!
Hearty thanks and congratulations to those 3 wonderful heroes. We are so blessed on our little island to have such skilled and dedicated folks to look after us.
Many thanks to them all. : o )
