Catching up over the last few months we would like to thank everyone who help us make such an overwhelmingly successful event.

We are happy to report that to date we have framed more then 60 award winning historical photos and memorabilia for Fire Station 423’s memory wall, thanks to the FUNCTION IN THE JUNCTION, a framing fundraiser  put on by JRA and sponsored by Aquila Restaurant and Latitude 44 Gallery Framing Décor with help from Agora.

If you have not heard about this event let me explain. For their efforts in promoting the history of their station and firefighting in their neighbourhood, Junction fire fighters received a Heritage Media Award.

JRA Co-chair Linda Clements wanted to acknowledge Duncan Brown and Greg Schultz the firemen who won the awards and help them for all their service to the Junction. The fundraiser was her idea and she and her family put a huge amount of work into organizing the hugely successful event. It was wonderful to see residents and local businesses rally together in support for the fire Station...

What a wonderful neighbourhood we live in!
