Vancouver Firefighter Charities would like to take a moment to thank all our city’s heroes; the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and first responders; the tireless frontline workers and everyone that supports them from the custodial staff and administrators to 911 operators; the child-care providers, teachers, grocery workers and their suppliers; our diligent media agencies, financial institutions and all the people and professions that are stepping up – you make such a difference every day!

To our families, friends and neighbours, thank you for your random acts of kindness and compassion. We will get through this, working together.
