From June 14th to 17th, over 50 delegates were in Saskatoon for the 2010 IAFF Western Canadian Conference.  This was held at the Sheraton Cavalier, and welcomed Presidents and Secretaries of Locals from Winnipeg to Victoria.  On Monday June 14th delegates took part in a golf day at Moon Lake, followed by a Steak Supper.  Tuesday June 15 marked the beginning of the sessions, with welcome greetings from Local 80 President Bruce Siemens and speeches by His Worship Mayor Don Atchison, Saskatoon Fire Chief Brian Bentley and Scott Marks, Assistant to the General President for Canadian Operations.  On Tuesday night delegates were treated to a hospitality night at the Hose and Hydrant Restaurant and Bar.  Wednesday included a speech from 6th Distict Vice President Lorne West, as well as reports from the Locals.  Lunch was provided at Fire Hall #1, with barbeque services provided by SaskEnergy.  Wednesday afternoon wrapped up the sessions and a banquet followed.

The Conference was considered a success by the host committee.  The Sheraton provided exceptional service and the delegates were impressed by the hosts' hospitality, including shuttles to and from the airport, a nightly complimentary host room in the hotel, welcome packages in each room, and twice a day workouts led by Local 80 Peer Fitness Trainers.

Thank you to all that helped out with the workouts and Wedneday's Lunch. You helped make the Conference the success it was!
