Over 100 members of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs generously volunteer their time and expertise to provide subject matter expertise and policy leadership on issues of importance to the fire service and to Canada in general. Per the CAFC Bylaws, the Committees are struck by and report to the CAFC Board of Directors. They consist of active members of the association who are in good standing and occasionally and by invitation, some retired members as consultants. CAFC committees provide essential advice to the Board and the National Advisory Council. They help to ensure that the CAFC positions are fair, transparent, rooted in the realities of the sector, evidence informed, and forward looking. It is our pleasure to recognize them here.
