From Nora Reid, President of Central Station Education Initiative
"On behalf of Central Station Education Initiative I would like to thank the Government of Canada and Canadian Heritage for their generous support of this project that will have historical, environmental, cultural and economic benefits to the City of Welland.
I would also like to sincerely thank our current Board members and prior Board members for all their dedication and hard work over the last five years and for their continued commitment to this project.
In addition I would like to thank our professional and volunteer firefighters past and present and all our volunteers, business partners and donors along with everyone in this community who have supported this initiative to revitalize our 100-year-old Fire Hall, one of Welland's most significant heritage sites, and preserve the irreplaceable history of Welland's and Canada's firefighters contained within it."
