You make us better for it. And for that, I am truly grateful and thankful for all you do. It is way more than putting out fires. It\u2019s incredible.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lake of Bays mayor Terry Glover also made a short speech and took the time to recognize not only the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays firefighters but their families as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you work in the fire services, you are a participant, you are in the front lines of a full contact event. Your families are participating, your neighbours are participating\u2026we are all participants,\u201d Glover said. \u201cToday is a day to celebrate our firefighters and recognize them, but much more important, let\u2019s salute their families. Their families worry about them at every call.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chaplain Ted Leck was also present at the event and spoke on the work the firefighters do, with emphasis on the way in which they do it with grace, care, and compassion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am reminded today of an old truth that says give honour when honour is due. I don\u2019t know if there is a medal or a plaque for everyone here but you all deserve to be honoured. What you do as firefighters, showing the level of compassion that most people will never experience, and maybe have never experienced in their life, but you show that compassion to them in the moment that they deeply need it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire Chief Gary Monahan said a few words and expressed his gratitude for the support Mayor Alcock, Mayor Glover, and all of the municipal councils provide to the fire department.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the speeches concluded, Bowler acknowledged the years of service of members of the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department, which included five, ten, and 15 years. Then, years of service medals were awarded to various firefighters in the department for 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years. And finally, Bowler recognized the retirees of the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department, for their service and recent retirement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Chief Paul Calleja expressed how being a member of the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department encourages individual growth and provides a character-building experience. He stated that it not only allows the firefighters to help their community, but to help themselves as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery year, we bring recruits on and the last few years when we\u2019ve interviewed them, one of the questions we ask is \u2018why do you want to be in our department?\u2019\u201d Calleja said. \u201cI had hands down the best answer to that question this year with one of our new recruits. They said \u2018Because I know people that are in that department and I see the way that it\u2019s changed them and I want to be like them.\u2019 That\u2019s huge. Usually, we get \u2018I want to serve my community\u2019 and \u2018I want to give back\u2019 and all that, but you have to actually want to make a change and make a difference in your life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the ceremony concluded, the firefighters and their families engaged in a social hour with snacks and refreshments wherein they chatted with colleagues and other family members and proudly posed for photos with their respective groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before everyone parted ways for the day, Bowler had a few remaining words of respect and recognition for the exceptional group of firefighters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt feels strange to have someone say how amazing and great you are in the community, but it\u2019s the truth,\u201d Bowler said. \u201cI know it\u2019s the truth because I\u2019m a storyteller, I\u2019m a reporter and I tell the stories of people that don\u2019t have the opportunity to do that themselves. I can no longer keep count of the amount of stories that I have been told about people like yourselves who have bravely gone into a burning building and saved a life. So with that, I want to say congratulations and thank you for your service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/04\/i3gFSQk3-fire_medal-recipients.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/04\/i3gFSQk3-fire_medal-recipients-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/04\/i3gFSQk3-fire_medal-recipients-452x300.jpg 452w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/04\/i3gFSQk3-fire_medal-recipients-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/04\/i3gFSQk3-fire_medal-recipients-652x432.jpg 652w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/04\/i3gFSQk3-fire_medal-recipients-630x418.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/04\/i3gFSQk3-fire_medal-recipients.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Years of service awards and Station 5 members from left, Station Chief Corey Mainville, Amos Wilson, Lieutenant James Freund, Tyler Pearce, and Lieutenant Ryan Elbe.
