The Liverpool Privateer game will have special significance as the organization joins with the Region of Queens Municipality in honouring and celebrating the efforts of the community’s volunteer firefighters by hosting a Firefighter Appreciation Night.
“The efforts of our volunteer firefighters and Department of Natural Resources fire crews are valued every day, but this summer’s fires in North Queens was a testament to their strong dedication, care and commitment to keeping our community safe,” said Mayor Christopher Clarke in a press release issued by the Region of Queens.
“There were so many involved in fighting the wildfires, and many of the volunteer fire fighters did not return to their regular job for more than two weeks, spending much time away from their own homes, devoted to keeping our community safe. For this, and for their year round efforts, the community is grateful.”
Clarke says he’s hopeful many residents will attend the game to show their support of the contribution that firefighters make to the community.
Among the activities planned to highlight the firefighters are the ceremonial puck drop at 7:30 p.m. with several fire chiefs and firefighters, and during the second intermission, selected volunteer firefighters will play Shoot for Jimbo’s Cash. During the game, fans will also have a chance to support Queens Mutual Aid with ‘Pass the Boot’; all contributions will be welcomed.
“The Liverpool Privateers have been welcomed wholeheartedly into the community, and are pleased to be back in Liverpool at Queens Place Emera Centre for our third season,” said Jim Bottomley, team owner. “To be able to recognize the contributions of the firefighters and help to support them is very important to our team. We are happy to be part of this event, and hope to see many of our fans turn out to show their support.”
