Emergencies don’t keep office hours, so why is the Municipality of Leamington making protection only part-time?

The Municipality’s decision to cut firefighter day shifts in Leamington has created dangerous gaps in the safety net.

Protect Leamington.

In a crisis, every second is a lifetime: a fire doubles in size every minute, and medical delays risk permanent injury. By relying on reduced coverage, local leaders are prioritizing budget lines over the lives of our families, seniors, and neighbours.

  • Public safety is a right, not a luxury. We are calling for the immediate restoration of day shifts and a commitment to a 24/7 full-time staffing model.
  • Don’t wait for a tragedy to act. Use the embedded form below to send a pre-written email to Mayor MacDonald and Council. Tell them Leamington deserves full-time protection.
