In recognition of the amazing and courageous work done daily by our First Responders, the Municipality of the District of St Marys has just held its inaugural First Responders ceremony in honour of our local firefighters, police officers and paramedics.

The award ceremony was held on May 1st. By acts of Parliament and the Nova Scotia Legislature, May 1st, is designated as “First Responder Day,” an opportunity to recognize the outstanding contribution that first responders give to our communities.

By virtue of this event we’ve all been given a glimpse into just how many dedicated people serve us locally and give so much to their communities each and every day. A total of 107 first responders received awards including:

19 people who have performed over 40 years of service!
16 people who have performed over 30 years of service!
46 people between 10 and 29 years of service!

The event introduced the Valour and Outstanding Service Awards which specifically recognize extraordinary individual contributions.

6 people received the award for Valour!
19 people received the award for Outstanding Service!
