This August, Cannon Township voters will have the opportunity to renew the 10-year, 1.0 operating millage to secure stable, predictable funding for the Cannon Township Fire Department, a resource that has been in place in our community for over 50 years. Due to automatic annual "rollbacks" required by the Michigan Constitution’s Headlee Amendment, the effective tax rate has gradually eroded to 0.8847 mills.

The August ballot proposal is structured as a renewal and restoration back to the original voter authorized 1.0-mill rate. This ensuring our first responders' funding can keep pace with community growth, rising equipment costs, and increasing service demands. These funds directly support daily emergency readiness by providing the modern life-saving apparatus, gear, and station resources needed to keep our township and local community safe.

Ice Rescue Training 2026

This morning, the Cannon Township Fire Department headed out to Bostwick Lake for our annual Ice Rescue Training. We weren't alone, we were proud to train alongside our partners from the Rockford Public Safety Department - Fire Division and Grattan Township Fire Department

Joint maneuvers like these are about more than just practice; they ensure that when an emergency happens, our agencies move as one seamless team. From honing technical rescue skills to perfecting our communication, we’re committed to being ready when you need us most.

Safety Advisory: We urge residents to remain vigilant. No ice is 100% safe, especially during transitional thaws.

A huge “THANK YOU” to Bostwick Lake Association!
