Dozens of family members of firefighters who died in the past year gathered to pay tribute at the Canadian Firefighters Memorial ceremony Sunday at LeBreton Flats.
Romanado said the federal government has finalized agreements with both B.C. and the Northwest Territories so that they receive a combined $60 million over the next five years to fight wildfires.
The funds will help provide specialized training to firefighters and expand their skills and capabilities, Romanado said. David Sheen, president of the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation, said the ceremony is meant to recognize the sacrifices of all firefighters, including military, volunteer, and Indigenous firefighters.
