President’s Message
With 2021 in our collective rear view mirror, we are left to reflect on our accomplishments, pivots and misses as we plot our path into 2022. This new season of spring will bring warmer temperatures and a renewal optimism for how we will continue working and living with C19. With adjusted professional and personal goals, it continues to be challenging to untangle our work and personal time while we “Work remote or work from home”. As we press forward together into the spring and summer we must remember that talking about and sharing our experiences and knowledge remains as important as ever.
To help encourage membership collaborate and continued learn, we are currently offering online Technical Sessions again along with an in-person Annual Educational Forum (AEF) in the Fall. The next Technical Session (May 5th, 2022) will also include our Annual General Meeting (AGM) with a great presentation from Neil Chaudhuri from FM Global regarding Storage Sprinkler Discharge Obstructions. Our AEF is scheduled for Sept 22, 2022 and is planned to be in person.
Within future messages and email communication, look for more information for both events. I am very pleased again to report that the CFSA will be offering free memberships to students attending a Corporate plus category University or Colleges. This membership program was a great success over the last two years (See our website for more information). We believe in strongly supporting the next generation of fire and life safety professional. This memberships and our scholarship programs are great examples of this intent. Our scholarship program has expanded in 2022 with $13,000 spread across 14 different awards. Information and application forms are also on our website.
Be sure to follow or connect with us using Twitter @CFSA_NextGen along with @CFSA_Canada. Please feel free to contact me at any time President@CanadianFireSafety.com
Stay safe,
Scott Pugsley CFSA President
