Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026 is Firefighters' National Memorial Day, observed each year on the second Sunday in September to honour firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty.

It is a solemn reminder of the risk’s firefighters take every day to protect our communities. As a mark of respect, flags will be lowered at the Civic Centre and Town fire halls. 

The Town of Georgina honours the memories of those who have fallen and expresses its gratitude to all firefighters who continue to serve their communities with courage and dedication.

Remember to slow down, use caution and follow posted signage in active construction areas.
