The additional front line services are needed to serve the growing population in the srea.

The city has announced the start of construction of a temporary firehall that will be repurposed when a new permanent firehall is completed. 

It’s hoped construction will be finished in 2026.

It’s estimated the cost of these positions over a four-year period will be about $14.2 million.
