The Cambridge Professional Fire Fighters' Association
The CPFFA represents approximately 130 full-time employees of the City of Cambridge Fire Department. The Association represents members in six divisions; Fire Suppression, Fire Prevention, Public Education, Training and Development, Communications and Mechanical. Our Executive Board consist of a President, Vice-president, Secretary, Treasurer and 3 Stewards. As well, numerous committees are populated with the core of any Association - our members. The CPFFA is strongly based in the Community. Our Benevolent/Public Relations Committee donates in excess of $10,000.00 annually to less fortunate individuals, families and smaller locally based charities in Cambridge and North Dumfries. Our partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada has generated over $100,000.00 in the last seven years through our annual boot toll at the Cambridge Centre. Our longest running charitable effort has been our Christmas Basket Fund, where we with the help of community partners provide Christmas hampers for local families in need. May of every year is a time set aside to honour our current and former retirees with a banquet and dance. Dignitaries from the Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments as well as Executive Board members from the International Association of Fire Fighters and the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association gather with local members to salute the contributions made by these members to our community.
The CPFFA will be hosting a Poker Tournament at the Nfld. Club on Sunday July 12/09 beginning at 12:00 pm. The purpose of the day is to raise funds in support of our proposed Line Of Duty Death Memorial. For more info contact Rick Pynn.
