Ontario Expanding Cancer Coverage for Firefighters

Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, was joined by Michael Kerzner, Solicitor General, and Greg Horton, President of the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association, to announce our government is expanding cancer coverage for firefighters.

These changes will make it faster and easier for these heroes and their families to access the compensation and supports they deserve for thyroid and pancreatic cancers from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).

In every community, firefighters are on the front lines each and every day saving lives. These everyday heroes work tirelessly to protect the communities we live in, and in return, they deserve to get the care and support they need.
