The District of Metchosin Council would like to take to opportunity to congratulate Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop on her acceptance of employment with the Central Saanich Fire Department.
"Chief Dunlop has kept Metchosin safe for nearly 20 years, and she is a stellar example of professionalism and community service," said Mayor Marie-Térèse Little. "During that time, she has trained and inspired hundreds of firefighters who have served this community or elsewhere. Through some of the worst forest fire years in BC, the province benefited directly from Stephanie and her team’s involvement. In addition to responding to emergencies across Metchosin’s complex landscape, Stephanie brought in millions in grant funding to Metchosin for diverse programming and initiatives. Few people know this community better than she does! While the ‘Chief’ will be deeply missed, a huge congratulations are in order for stepping into a new and exciting role. Stephanie – thank you so much for your service to Metchosin!”
