He said the plan is to make the training facility available to other fire departments within the District of Muskoka through the Muskoka Association of Fire Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs council is aware, we have a very good training facility. There\u2019s been lots of interest from the rest of the Muskoka chiefs, in terms of using it. The other thing that kind of pushed us along, even before the college closure, was that it was beginning [to be]  more and more difficult to get people registered in courses at the college. So, by becoming a regional training centre we would be able to offer those college courses and our priority would be for our own firefighters, and then for firefighters from the neighbouring municipalities, and then we would also, if we had extra capacity, we could open it up to firefighters from anywhere in the province.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins said at first they were not certain whether it would be a worthwhile endeavour while the college in Gravenhurst was still open but once the closure occurred it became quickly apparent \u201cthat we could make this work and it could be to our advantage and to our neighbours\u2019 advantage so we put the proposal together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said discussions have taken place with the pertinent authorities who have inspected the facility, reviewed programming, and have given the approval to designate the location as a regional training centre, with council\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the courses offered will be staffed by qualified instructors within the organization, \u201cso we will be able to staff most of the courses with our own people. There will be some specialized technical rescue courses and things like that where we would contract out to an outside agency to come in and do it. We would only do that if we could be sure that we would recover all of the costs through tuition,\u201d Collins said, adding that the cost of any course offered must be 100 per cent recoverable.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano said she and fellow District councillors lobbied against the closure of the Gravenhurst facility. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to make the sun shine on their rain but the timing has worked well and we were trying to supplement the fire college down there for training anyway,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Huntsville Councillor Jonathan Wiebe asked Collins where he saw the initiative in five years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tend to be a little bit less optimistic when it comes to projects like this. So, it would be great if in five years it was a self-sustaining fire school, and that\u2019s possible I suppose but our plans are to move it slowly. For example, for the remainder of 2021 we believe there are four courses that we could deliver. Those courses would, again, recover all the costs and actually make a little money that could be put toward improvements,\u201d said Collins. \u201cI think it\u2019s an ambitious goal to make it sort of its own self-sufficient entity but, you know, if everything went well that possibility I think is there\u2026 if it grows and it\u2019s manageable then yes it could be a very viable entity on its own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prompted by a question by Huntsville Councillor Dione Schumacher, Collins said there is a long-term capital plan to improve the facility over the next few years. \u201cI think once we get the enhancements that we\u2019re looking for we will be one of the premier regional training centres in the province, certainly outside of the GTA. So, I\u2019m kind of excited about the potential that we have there in Port Sydney, and I think it can become a very impressive facility by the time we\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related stories:<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/with-closure-of-ontario-fire-college-hlobfd-looks-to-create-regional-fire-centre\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">With closure of Ontario Fire College, HLOBFD looks to create regional fire centre<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/fire-college-for-huntsville\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Fire college for Huntsville?<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox three times per week!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huntsville Council has thrown its support behind a pilot project for the remainder of 2021 that will see the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department\u2019s facility in Port Sydney used [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":97115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1237,2482,184],"class_list":["post-97076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-fire-chief","tag-fire-college","tag-huntsville-lake-of-bays-fire-department"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
