The seminar was entitled “Application Performance Compliance”. There was a great variety of speakers which prompted many discussions on a num - ber of different topics. A special thank you goes out to the City of Toronto’s Deputy Fire Chief Jim Jessop for a fantastic and informative presentation. Thank you again for allowing me the privilege to continue in the role of President for another year. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to participate with such a great group of individuals as our board members. They are truly a dedicated and passion - ate group. With regards to CAN/ULC-S561 covered in the Spring Edition of the CFSA news, we have come a long way in the development of early warning fire protection sys - tems and devices. We have also worked hard in getting those advanced warnings to the fire departments in the fastest most efficient way possible. However if these monitoring systems are not installed correctly then all of our efforts in making these great strides have been done for nothing. The signals and reliability will continue to go untrusted and challenged. We need to continue the promotion of certification and confirmation that signals are transmitted and received correctly. There should be no alternative to being subjected to random inspections and tests to confirm transmission success. Let us know if you have any ideas or topics that you would find interesting. Our mis - sion is to “To disseminate fire and life safety information and create a fire safe envi - ronment in Canada”. The conversations need to continue to make the mission work. Your continued attendance, support and feedback assist greatly in the growth of the Association. And finally, a special thank you to our scholarship committee and those providing the scholarships - your support does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you.
