The Markham Fire & Emergency Services CADET Program has focused its
public education efforts on meeting the needs of our very diverse
community. One of the communities that may get overlooked
is those living with a development disability.
This program was created to give individuals who are not able to be
employed as a firefighter the opportunity to experience all aspects and roles
within the fire service.
