Press Release: Markham to host Junior Firefighter Camp
Junior Firefighter Day - September 25, 2007
MARKHAM, ON ~ September 20, 2007 ~
On Tuesday, September 25, 2007,
the Fire Departments of York Region will host their annual Junior Firefighter Day
at Markham Fire Station 98, 650 Bur Oak Drive, Markham.
In the spring of 2007, each of the nine municipalities in York Region selected a
winner from a Risk Watch theme contest. To be chosen as a winner of the
contest, the students had to write an essay including at least three of the eight
Risk Watch safety components.
Risk Watch is a curriculum-based tool that teaches children about several safety
topics such as traffic, pedestrian, bike and bike helmets, fire and burns, poison,
falls, electrical safety and more. Each of the nine municipalities in York Region
has selected their Junior Firefighter and they will have a day of recognition and
firefighting training along with the Mayor and Fire Chief from each municipality.
The day starts at 10 a.m., with each Junior Firefighter receiving their own official
bunker gear which they will take home with them when the day is finished. They
will then have a chance to ride a fire truck, practice using the fire hose, learn
proper techniques for operating portable fire extinguishers on a live fire and
practice using the 911 phone.
Members of the media are invited to visit and watch the junior firefighters in
action from 10 to noon for lunch and photo opportunities. The day ends about
2:30 p.m.

Press Release: Local Benefactors make York Region Community Foundation possible
Unionville �Three Founding Benefactors have set the stage for the York Region Community Foundation (YRCF) to build permanent, income-producing endowment funds to support a wide range of community needs across the region�s nine municipalities.
Rosemary Park, Chair of the Board of Directors of YRCF, says, "With major gifts supporting this initiative from Enbridge Gas Distribution, Miller Thomson LLP and personally from Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti we are ready to help the residents of York Region build a stronger community and create lasting legacies."
Major support also comes from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), an agency of the Government of Ontario that assists the volunteer sector through investments in community-based initiatives.
"Along with these Founding Benefactors and OTF there are many more companies and individuals who believe in the mission of YRCF and have given generously, both financially and of their time," Park added.
The official launch of the York Region Community Foundation, a locally-run public foundation, will be held this Wednesday, September 19th at the Varley Art Gallery in Unionville.
Community Foundations pool the charitable gifts of many donors to create income-earning endowment funds. Grants from these earnings help a wide range of local endeavors � from health, education and social services to arts and culture and the environment. Currently there are 158 Community Foundations across Canada holding a combined $2.7 billion in assets. In 2006 $137 million was granted to thousands of charities working in the community foundations� communities.
Residents of York Region�s nine municipalities � Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King, Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Whitchurch-Stouffville � now and in the future will enjoy the many benefits of a Community Foundation.
