Dear Mayor:

As the Chief of Emergency Management for Ontario, it is incumbent on me to monitor, coordinate and assist municipalities with their respective municipal emergency management programs in accordance with the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA). To confirm municipalities are in compliance with the EMCPA, every municipality in Ontario submits a compliance package to Emergency Management Ontario on a yearly basis.

The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management (OFMEM) has reviewed the documentation submitted by your Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC) and has determined that your municipality was compliant with the EMCPA in 2019.

The safety of your citizens is important, and one way to ensure that safety is to ensure that your municipality is prepared in case of an emergency. You are to be congratulated on your municipality's efforts in achieving compliance in 2019. I look forward to continuing to work with you to ensure your continued compliance in 2020.

If you have any questions or concerns about this letter, please contact your Emergency Management Field Officer; their contact information is below.

Name: Christopher Pape Email: Christopher.Pape@ontario.ca Phone: 519-854-6595

Sincerely, Douglas Browne Chief of Emergency Management cc: Stephen Laforet - CEMC Christopher Pape - Field Officer - St.Clair Sector
