Fire-Rescue Canada 2023

Join us September 17th to the 20th at the Westin Hotel in Halifax!

Overview

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.

Disclaimer: Fire Rescue Canada 2023 (FRC 2023) is a conference intended primarily for members and partners of Canada’s fire services. While international guests are welcomed, we do not generally provide letters of invitation. Thank you for your understanding.
