The Ontario government is investing $30-million over three years to provide 374 municipal fire departments with funding to support cancer prevention initiatives.
The funding, through the Fire Protection Grant, will be used to purchase equipment and make infrastructure upgrades to help reduce the long-term effects of exposure to fire-related contaminants and chemicals.
Locally, fire departments in St. Catharines, Welland, Niagara Falls, Port Colborne, Fort Erie, Lincoln, West Lincoln, Wainfleet, Thorold, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Grimsby will see funding.
