TJ Belluk, Rooftop Campout Chair:

The United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg would like to announce the Rooftop Campout for Muscular Dystrophy wrapped up last week raising just over $60,000. 

While this was short of the intended goal, we are very pleased with what was accomplished. Connor Normandin, Eric Dyck, Rhema Idonije and Jon Polson were front and center leading the effort. Retired District Chief Al Bartley even returned for a cameo appearance on the first night. 

Thanks to the many volunteers who braved some good and not so good weather to help with the road tolls. This has always been our main source of fundraising and Winnipeg stepped up again. 

Thank you to the volunteers who were on hand to help with the setup and teardown. 

We hope to see you all back next year.

We were proud today to launch the 10th annual Firefighter Rooftop Campout for Muscular Dystrophy

Thank you to all of our financial, political and department supporters.

Our campers this year include Al Bartley, Rhema Idonije, Eric Dyck, Conor Normandin and JP Polson.

 We were proud to recently welcome Scott & Anne Oake from the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre to our office. We presented them with a check in the amount of $18,500 representing the proceeds from our annual Banquet And Ball. #NeverOffDuty

We are proud to announce our 2019 executive board election results. (all by acclamation)
