Annual First Responders Dinner and Dance
by Miranda L'Hirondelle
Edson's Citizens on Patrol, Victim
Services, and the Friendship Centre hosted
the third annual First Responders Dinner
and Dance at the Royal Canadian Legion

which is down from last year, but up from
the first year they held the event. “The
County has decided to do something on
their own so we didn't have the County
Firefighters there like we had last year,”
said Kristie Gomuwka.
The County had only been able to send a
few of its First Responders to the event in
the past due to the distances and emergency
staffing requirements.
The First Responders who attended were
dressed in uniform and the RCMP in their
Red Serge for the event. “It is important

and we feel that it's important to show our
appreciation. It is also an opportunity for
these First Responders to get together in a
fun atmosphere and get to know one

Kevin Zahara.
“I don't think that it is necessarily our
focus to be a large fundraiser or to make a
ton of money, we just want to offer an
evening to all of the First Responders so
we can show the appreciation towards them
and they can have a fun evening out,” said
