Members of Haliburton County Paramedic Service, municipal fire departments, and the Haliburton Highlands Ontario Provincial Police have collectively come together to invite the public to a free Haliburton County community open house to learn more about the critical role professional and volunteer emergency responders have in keeping our communities safe.
Residents of all ages are invited to visit bases, halls, and stations throughout Haliburton County on May 1 from 3-7 p.m. for a variety of activities. Bring your kids, your grandkids, your neighbour, or stop by yourself.
Members of the public will be able to meet local and visiting emergency personnel, learn about available programs and services, hear about volunteer and career opportunities, understand how to prepare for emergencies, and get an up-close look at emergency equipment and vehicles. Activities will vary at each location.
The event happens rain or shine.
