Vancouver Firefighters Charities (VFC) is pleased to announce it has teamed up with Downtown entertainment destination Parq Vancouver to create the Parq Vancouver Casino Firefighter Bursary to support people pursuing a career in firefighting.
Beginning this April and continuing every year, Parq will provide the financial support for VFC to award an applicant who exemplifies the high standards and commitment required to be a firefighter with the funds necessary to complete their journey.
The deadline to apply for the inaugural Parq Vancouver Firefighter Bursary is Monday, April 1. Applicants are encouraged to apply at https://vancouverfirefighters.ca/parq-vancouver-firefighter-bursary/.
It’s not the first time that Parq has stepped up to show its support for VFC. Parq was an official partner of the 2023 edition of the annual Hall of Flame Calendar, which has raised more than a million dollars for an array of BC charities, non-profits and community programs since its debut in 1988.
The Hall of Flame calendar is the longest running firefighters’ calendar in the world and has raised more than a million dollars for the BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund as well as VFC’s charitable outreach programs like Snacks for Kids and Lifelines for Seniors that benefit at-risk youth and seniors in communities throughout BC since its debut in 1988.
