CADET PROGRAM (12.2.6)
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.
