Call for Speakers 
Fire Rescue Canada (FRC) 2024
September 21 - 25, 2024

Double Tree Hilton (Downtown)

Montreal, Quebec

Background:
For over 20 years, the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) has hosted its national conference, Fire Rescue Canada (FRC). This national conference gives fire chiefs from across the country, many of whom are also emergency managers, the opportunity to convene for educational and networking purposes.

This is a niche conference intended to facilitate and foster relationship building across the sector. The planning committee makes an effort to ensure relevance to all department types from large metro to small rural, from career to composite to volunteer.

For those not familiar with FRC, during this event we host our annual general meeting, our awards gala, and take the time to catch up with each other. We hear new topics both from within the membership, and from guests who may be politicians, journalists, researchers, clinicians, policy experts, musicians, artists, athletes among others. Some discussions result in resolutions, ideas and programs that show up in the next year’s operating plan. We look forward to hearing your ideas. Thanks for considering your submission! All submissions are due March 22, 2024. 

About the Call for Speakers:
The call for speakers includes invitations for 1-hour talks. The Committee will decide is the submission is a breakout or a plenary. The Call for Speakers is in English because the conference runs primarily in English.
