A PROCLAMATION

Whereas many dedicated citizens have joined with volunteer, professional and industrial fire safety personnel as “Partners in Fire Prevention” in a relentless effort to minimize loss to life, destruction of property and damage to the environment;

And whereas it is desirable that information on fire causes and recommended preventive measures be disseminated during a specific period of the year;

And whereas the 2013 fire prevention theme for this period is:

“Fire Prevention Week - Prevent Kitchen Fires”.

Now Know You that We, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council for Canada, have thought fit to designate and do designate the week commencing Sunday, the sixth of October, and ending on Saturday, the twelfth of October, in the present year as

“FIRE PREVENTION WEEK”

and further, in appreciation of the many services rendered by the members of the Fire Service of Canada, that Saturday the twelfth of October be designated as Fire Service Recognition Day.

And We do recommend to all Our Loving Subjects that during Fire Prevention Week, federal, provincial and municipal authorities intensify their fire prevention activities.

Of All Which Our Loving Subjects and all others whom these Presents may concern are hereby required to take notice and to govern themselves accordingly.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patent and the Great Seal of Canada to be hereunto affixed. WITNESS: Our Right Trusty and Well-beloved David Johnston, Chancellor and Principal Companion of Our Order of Canada, Chancellor and Commander of Our Order of Military Merit, Chancellor and Commander of Our Order of Merit of the Police Forces, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada.
