As of January 16th all calls, documents, corespondents will be using the new township name. A branding strategy is in place to create a new logo, establish  an online presence and a brand. Public engagement will be done through out the process.

Wedesign has been hired to help come up with a proper logo along with a professional designer. It is expected that 2 or 3 logo options will be brought to Council to choose from. The logo will also include a tag line or motto.

The new domain name for the township will be www.selwyntownship.ca.

Once the branding strategy is complete, residents will see new signage and vehicle decals on township property.

The township plans to pay for the Branding Strategy and Online Presence through a OMPF fund.

What it's like to see things through the eyes of a Firefighter

So you want to be a firefighter.
 
This is the same video, without the music. Natural sound. This video is to show people what it is like to fight fires, and what firefighters across the nation do every day. The more people who realize, the better it will be for our profession.
I put together a bunch of clips from some of the better helmet cam footage I got this year while fighting fires in Highland Park. I had to replace several lens's and a couple mounts throughout the year, so the camera was not always on my helmet. I used a contour ROAM. other then the lens being easily scratch I would have to say it held up great for what it went through.
All the clips are from my own camera, and they are all real fires. No training fires.
The music is not minem it is obviously Eminems- till I collapse. I was just trying to make it a bit more interesting then just a bunch of clips. I understand some people might not appreciate the music, but hey its my video.
We love doing our job in Highland Park. And we do it often. Our aggressive attack might seem odd to some since most of these are "vacant" homes. But we are here to put fires out and the best way to do that is from the inside. Stay safe brothers...stay low
Check out www.firevideo.net these guys hooked me up and I will be using their camera from now on.
