Station 65, in the LaSalle Borough, held its ninth open house on Saturday, June 6. The idea was launched by Station 65, Group 1 members, after a visit by Cédrik Deschênes, a young boy suffering from sinus cancer. The event will be marking its tenth anniversary next year – a real cause for celebration. Over the years, it has raised more than $200,000 for Opération Enfant Soleil.
This year’s edition was a resounding success. Thousands of people of all ages turned out on a beautiful sunny day to meet the Station 65 firefighters. The firefighting-themed event featured rides in a fire truck, inflatables, Chief, the mascot, a chance to dress up in firefighting uniforms, a fire safety simulator, obstacle courses and more.
Firefighters Patrick Morel (65-4) and Jean-François Cloutier (65-2) had the pleasure of presenting a cheque for $15,158 to the Foundation at the 28th Opération Enfant Soleil telethon. Bravo to all the staff at Station 65 for their involvement!
