That the sincere condolences of Kingston City Council be extended to the family and friends of former Kingston Fire & Rescue Chief Harold Tulk, who passed away suddenly on September 19, 2024. Chief Tulk served for 42 years in the fire service in Ontario, and was appointed as Fire Chief for the City of Kingston on November 26, 2001, serving until his retirement on December 31, 2012. Chief Tulk played an important role in the merging of three separate fire departments during the amalgamation of the former Pittsburgh and Kingston Townships and the City of Kingston. Our thoughts are with his wife Susan, children Mark and Lindsay, and his grandchildren.

That the sincere condolences of Kingston City Council be extended to the family and friends of Mac Gervan who passed away on September 20, 2024 after being fatally struck by a car while walking his beloved dog Zuri. Mac was a cherished father, partner and friend known for his kindness, generosity and commitment to service. He touched the lives of many with his unwavering support, infectious laughter and dedication to his community. Mac’s construction company was instrumental in advancing Kingston’s Heritage portfolio over many years and his contribution of excellence will have a legacy in wood and limestone. Mac loved to travel, was an avid gardener, a champion of the arts and loved to golf with his friends. Above all, Mac valued his friends, his family and his community. Our thoughts are with his colleagues, family and friends during this difficult time.

That Kingston City Council recognize October 6 to 12, 2024 as Fire Prevention Week. The campaign for 2024 is “Smoke alarms: make them work for you!”. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by more than half, with three out of five fire deaths happening in homes with either no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Kingston Fire & Rescue, along with other fire departments through Ontario and North America, will be educating residents on the importance of installing and maintaining smoke alarms to support this year’s theme. Kingston City Council thanks Kingston Fire & Rescue for their work and encourages all residents to test existing smoke alarms and install new smoke alarms where needed.

That the best wishes of Kingston City Council be extended to former President of the United States The Honorable Jimmy Carter, on the occasion of his 100th birthday. While being recognized for his extensive humanitarian work over the years, Jimmy Carter and his late wife Rosalyn were guests here in Kingston in 2012 when they came to the city to receive joint honorary degrees from Queen's University. As a community we offer our sincere congratulations on reaching this milestone and offer our best wishes for a very happy birthday.
