We are pleased to share that we have completed two comprehensive assessments to help guide the future of emergency services in our district: the Resource Needs Assessment and the Staffing Needs Assessment. These studies are designed to ensure we keep pace with our rapidly growing community while maintaining the high level of service you expect.

Based on projected growth and key response metrics, the Resource Needs Assessment indicates that we will need to add Fire Station 5 by 2035, Fire Station 6 by 2040, and an additional response unit, Pelican 1, at Station 1 by 2029. These projections will be reviewed and updated annually to ensure they remain aligned with actual growth trends. The Staffing Needs Assessment builds on these findings, outlining a plan to add 64 new positions over the next 10 years—42 operational staff to support expanded response capabilities and 22 administrative staff to ensure continued internal support and service delivery. 

We’re committed to transparency as we plan for the future. If you have any questions after reviewing the reports, please reach out to Chief Angermuller.
