OUR GOAL – A NEW MUSEUM!
The Canadian Fire Fighters Museum opened in 1984 and has a wonderful collection of artifacts that simply tell the story of how firefighters have played a vital role in the lives of their communities. The Museum occupied the old Port Hope town sheds on Mill Street for 33 years until being forced to close as the building, which was owned by the municipality, needed to be removed due to the PHAI plan.
Our objective is to open our expanded and updated new Museum at our new location in Cobourg, Ontario in 2026.
Vision Statement: The Canadian Fire Fighters Museum will contribute to broad understanding of how peoples’ interaction with fire and its consequences shapes human society
Mission Statement: The Canadian Fire Fighters Museum will be a nationally recognized leader in engaging Canadians in the rich history of fire fighting in Canada through an exceptional collection, innovative programs, collaborative approaches and professional conduct.
Values Statement: The values embodied in our work towards achieving our Mission are:
- creativity and innovation in the use of our resources to generate new insights, knowledge and experiences;
- inclusivity and respect of diversity so that we can provide opportunities for anyone to participate in our work while welcoming different perspectives;
- collaboration in our approach and openness to communities of all kinds and all locations;
- accountability for the use and deployment of our resources, honour in our commitments and transparency in our acts to earn trust.
