Saint John’s firefighters are once again showing their commitment to the community extends far beyond their emergency response duties. In a heartwarming annual tradition, members of the Saint John Firefighters IAFF Local 771 have pooled their own money to purchase season tickets for the Saint John Sea Dogs.

The goal isn’t for the firefighters to enjoy the games themselves, but to share the excitement of Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League action with their neighbours. Throughout the season, these tickets will be given away to residents across the community.

A Tradition of Giving Back

In a recent social media post, the firefighters’ union shared their enthusiasm for the initiative. “Each year your Saint John Firefighters chip in some money and purchase season tickets in support of our Saint John Sea Dogs,” the post stated. “Your Firefighters in turn re-distribute our tickets back out into the community throughout the season.”

This gesture reinforces the firefighters’ connection to the city they serve, allowing them to share their passion for Canada’s national game. “We’re proud to spread the love of our national game, and the love of our community!” the union added.
