Program Development
Updated on: October 1st, 2021
A total of 76 programs are being developed for delivery in seven (7) areas: Community Safety Education, Governance (Fire Service), Community Infrastructure and Engineering Support, Fire Department Management, Fire Inspections, Fire Investigations and Fire Department Operations.
The goal of the NIFSC is to have all programs available for delivery in up to three formats: delivered in person by the Indigenous Fire Marshal Service (IFMS), training provided by the IFMS in a Train the Trainer format, and/or self-driven with provided materials. Programs will be available in both French and English.
In the last fiscal year (2020-2021) 51 programs were completed in the IFMS delivery format. Of the 51 programs, 18 programs will be undergoing enhancements and will be completed by November 2021. The remaining programs will be completed this fiscal year (2021-2022). In Q1 of this year, the Train the Trainer framework along with three (3) Train the Trainer programs were completed.
Program Delivery
Updated on: January 31st, 2022
The programs will all be made available in both English and French, and in different formats which include:
An IFMS Program Delivery Specialist visits a community to deliver the program on site;
The program content is downloaded from the website and then delivered by a member of the community (self-delivery); or
Training is provided to a member of the community who then delivers the program to the community (Train the Trainer).
