Firefighters’ Memorial Day Act, 2000
S.O. 2000, CHAPTER 31
Consolidation Period: From December 12, 2000 to the e-Laws currency date.
No amendments.
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. 2000, c. 31, s. 1.
2. Omitted (provides for coming into force of provisions of this Act). 2000, c. 31, s. 2.
3. Omitted (enacts short title of this Act). 2000, c. 31, s. 3.
