VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: CFFF Memorial Ceremony – September 5th – 7th, 2025

The CFFF is forever grateful for the support provided by our ROFFA members who have volunteered over the memorial weekend.

Having spoken to some, they very much enjoyed meeting and assisting the families of Canada’s fallen fire service members during their stay in Ottawa.

The Foundation would very much welcome their assistance again for this year’s memorial.

Again, many thanks to our wonderful ROFFA members!
