I have always said nowhere in Canada is ever more than 10 days from a flood or drought!

Just goes to show our M.D. has its' priorities wrong putting money before needs! To all the volunteer responders, hats off and THANK YOU. The time commitment is huge, and takes a toll on mental and physical health. As the Regional Chief mentioned, the stress is a factor in retention of our volunteers and until recently has not been given enough thought. Talk with your councilor about recognizing the problem as human not money shortage. As much as I hate paying taxes, I would pay 10 or 20 dollars more in tax and keep BRFA as a viable and healthy organization.

Yet again our M.D. council is out of touch with ratepayers and volunteers (who are the same people)! We already pay too much for insurance and this will only raise the cost of insurance. Volunteers will face the wrath of some people for something we had no say in, but our councilor ignored that input. The councilor needs to listen to (and hear) the people who put him there, not our employee - the CAO!! Wake up - BRFA is the envy of western Canada and this person is trying to destroy it!!!!!

Just another example of how our CAO runs our council and thus us. Our elected counsellors have accountability back to the voters but seem to ignore that!! It is past time for some of our council members to either act with the voters in mind or resign.

If AHD dispatch is overloaded it isn't working!! Our local 911 could and should be a one stop shop. BRFA has qualified dispatchers but when you call 911 for an ambulance they have to redirect your call to an AHS dispatch center. That's not efficiency if you are needing help

If $15,000 is going to break the M.D. of Bonnyville, we are in deep trouble!! It's obvious none of the councilors have experienced the trauma of losing to fire. This council needs to look in a mirror! And maybe, just maybe our CAO should understand who he works for! The amount fire incidents actually cost the M.D. (the people) is pretty low if you look into revenues from insurance etc. We changed the council significantly last election - it can happen again.

So the Premier and/or Cabinet have the power without debate in the Leg. Kinda like a dictatorship - what is happening to Democracy?

Our community was shocked that someone(s) could stoop this low! The anger/hurt felt by our firefighters cannot be underestimated. A big thank you to the public who saw the posts on social media . The response was phenominal. The calls expressing concern certainly uplifted our souls.
