An Invitation from the CAFC

"Through NIFSC and AFAC, CAFC would like to offer any Indigenous Fire Chiefs or company officers who have never been members of the CAFC, a complementary membership. We would like you with us, we would like your advice and support, and we would like to stand with and behind you in your work to ensure the safety of your communities. We invite you to be on our committees.  If this is of interest to you, please send an email to info@cafc.ca, reference this offer and we’ll get you set up." - President Ken McMullen, 2023
