Haiti - Quebec : Donation of Granby firefighters' equipment
09/03/2017 09:09:34

The Consulate General of Haiti in Montreal recently received a lot of equipment from the Fire Department of Granby, a Town of the Cantons de l’Est of Quebec. This lot includes 17 boxes containing 55 intervention suits, 9 coats and 10 firefighter helmets.

This donation follows an interview last summer between Consul General Justin Viard and Pierre Lacombe, the City of Granby Fire Chief, during which he expressed the City's desire to put these Equipment at the service of Haitian firefighters.

To this end, the Municipal Council of Granby passed a resolution in November 2016 confirming the granting of these equipment to the Haiti Fire Department. Subsequently, the City Council sent a correspondence last December to the Consular Mission to inform it of this decision.

The Consulate General of Haiti in Montreal, on behalf of the Haitian Government, thanked the City Council and the City of Granby Fire Department for their generosity and hoped that this gesture would pave the way for cooperation in other areas, betwwen the City of Granby and some cities in Haiti.
