Thanks for all you do, Al!

This Volunteer Week, we’re recognizing the people who have dedicated decades to protecting our communities.

👨‍🚒 Joseph “Al” Boudreau
Wedgeport & District Fire Department
57 years of service (since 1969)

From a recent conversation with Al:
“Years ago, they used to go house to house collecting $5 for the fire department. My neighbour asked me to help - but I had to join. That’s how I became a firefighter.”

What started as helping a neighbour turned into a lifetime of service.

Al has spent decades with the same department, including 14 years as Deputy Chief, helping lead training, supporting new generations of firefighters, and playing a key role in building the current fire hall.

“I guess I’ll stay here till I can’t do it anymore.”

Across the Municipality of Argyle, more than 235 volunteer firefighters continue that same tradition of service.

Thank you, Al, for everything you’ve given to your community.
