Local firefighters are hitting the street to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

The Chesterville Fire Station is seeking to ‘Fill the Boot’ on Thursday, October 7. Volunteer firefighters will be at the intersection of Queen Street and County Road 7, from 3:00 to 7:00pm, collecting donations.

No cash? No problem!

People can donate online and flyers will be handed out with QR quotes to make donating simple.

The Chesterville Fire Station is hoping to raise $2,000 for the cause, which benefits all Canadians impacted by neuromuscular disorders. The funds go towards programming and services.

‘Fill the Boot’ is a long-standing tradition amongst Canadian firefighters, who have been supporting Muscular Dystrophy Canada for more than 65 years.
