Statement from Premier Wab Kinew on Fallen Firefighter Ceremony
As Manitobans gather to honour fallen firefighters, I encourage all of us to take time to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Six names are being added to the memorial this year and each name represents one of the brave Manitobans we lost this year that have left a legacy of service.
Each of them lived up to the belief we all have as Manitobans that we don’t leave anyone behind and we help those who need it most. We get up every day and work together to make this province a better place, no matter what walk of life you come from.
Firefighters show up for us on some of our worst days and show incredible bravery and courage each day in carrying out their duties.
As a government, we will continue to work to support those who keep our communities safe.
