🔥 Wrapping up another incredible season!

Our Youth Firefighter Exposure Camp in Goodfish/Whitefish First Nation marks what will likely be our last camp for 2025, and what a way to finish strong. 💪

Huge thanks to the Goodfish/Whitefish community for welcoming us and to the youth who showed dedication, teamwork, and leadership throughout the program.

These camps build more than firefighting skills, they build confidence, culture, and community pride.

👏 Thank you to everyone who continues to support Iskotêw Training and our mission to ignite Indigenous futures in emergency services.

Last week, Iskotêw Training had the privilege of hosting a booth at the Economic Partnership event.

A big thank you to Wade Whitstone and Kuna Gadwa for representing our team and sharing the vision of our Indigenous youth firefighter and training programs. Their efforts helped us build valuable connections with both the business community and Nations across the region.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and creating partnerships that support youth empowerment, safety, and community growth.

We are grateful for the opportunity to sponsor the lunch at the Cultural Connections, Truth and Reconciliation Learning Experience at Weaver Heritage Park.

It was an honour to stand alongside community members, elders, and knowledge keepers in learning and sharing. Events like this remind us of the importance of coming together in the spirit of reconciliation and community.

On September 24th, our team at Iskotêw Training had the honour of standing with Whitefish Lake First Nation #128 for their Annual Memorial Walk & Workshops in recognition of the children and families of Residential Schools.

We joined the Memorial Walk, healing songs, and powerful stories from survivors and knowledge keepers.

As we reflect on National Day for Truth & Reconciliation we carry forward the teachings of that day — healing through grief, language, knowledge, and community.

🧡 Every Child Matters. 🧡

🔥 Picture this: a group of young people stepping into bunker gear for the very first time.

At first, it’s heavy. The boots feel big. The helmet feels awkward.
But then something happens…
They look around, realize they’re part of a team, and you can see it click.

That spark of confidence is what the Youth Firefighter Training Program is all about.
It’s not just about fire — it’s about building leaders, mentors, and role models for our communities.

💬 If you could give ONE piece of advice to today’s youth, what would it be?

🚒 Firefighting isn’t really about fire.

It’s about discipline.
It’s about resilience.
It’s about never leaving your teammate behind.

That’s why we started the Youth Firefighter Training Program — to pass these lessons on to the next generation.
