SHOULD THERE BE A CAP OF SOME KIND?

The above list from the 2024 SOFI shows two people, both ranked as firefighters. One earns $81,217.00 and another earns $163,303.00. That is quite a spread, Now consider the median HOUSEHOLD income in Nanaimo is $81,600.00 and the average per person income is $42,000.00. 

Now remember, with the latest contract raise the lower paid firefighter will get another $8,160,00 /year and the higher paid one another $16,300.00 / year.

LET THOSE NUMBERS SINK IN!

HOW MANY FIRES VS HOW MANY MEDICAL CALLS

iN 2024 THE FIRE DEPT. ATTENDED 172 STRUCTURE FIRES (WHAT YOU THINK THEY DO) AND 7,853 MEDICAL CALLS. SO A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK, ARE WE PAYING FOR FIRE PROTECTION OR PICKING UP THE SLACK THAT IS REALLY A HEALTH ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY ISLAND HEATLH?
