On behalf of the Paramedic Association of Manitoba, Jodi and I attended the farewell reception for WFPS Chief Wes Shoemaker and his wife Lori. The event was held last evening at the Fairmont Hotel in Winnipeg. A handful of Winnipeg City councillors were in attendance, as were many other civic and government officials. Mayor Sam Katz made a very brief appearance. Representatives from all three WFPS employee unions (PPAW, UFFW and WFPSOA) were also present to bid Wes and Lori farewell.
As you probably have already heard, Wes has accepted an Associate Deputy Minister's position with the B.C. Government, and begins work in Victoria early next week. The City has named Jim Brennan as the interim WFPS Chief, and is expected to begin looking for a full time replacement early in the new year.
