Representing the professionals who protect our communities.

IAFF Alberta proudly represents over 5,000 professional Fire Fighters, Paramedics and emergency communications professionals across 22 affiliated Locals in Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
 

Our members serve in large urban fire departments, regional and integrated services, and smaller communities across our region. While every Local and community is different, our members share a commitment to protecting the public and being there when their communities need them most.

Our role as a provincial association is to strengthen and support our affiliated Locals.  We provide a collective voice on issues that extend beyond any one municipality or workplace, while offering access to advocacy, labour relations expertise, education, research and specialized resources.

For smaller Locals in particular, being part of IAFF Alberta provides access to expertise and resources that may be difficult to sustain independently. For our larger Locals, it creates opportunities to work collectively on provincial issues that affect professional Fire Fighters and Paramedics across Alberta.

Together, our 22 affiliated Locals form one provincial voice sharing knowledge,  resources and experience while ensuring the needs of individual Locals and the members they represent remain at the centre of our work.
