The Mississauga Fire Fighters Association has endorsed the mayoral campaign of Bonnie Crombie. The association highlighted Crombie's community safety plan, which aims to enhance emergency services, reduce 911 response times, and increase mental health support. Chris Vacaroe, President of the Mississauga Fire Fighters Association, stated that firefighters recognize that safeguarding a community necessitates leadership, preparation, and a commitment to listening to frontline personnel.
The association endorsed Crombie due to their confidence in her ability to collaborate with them, support their members, and prioritize the safety of Mississauga families. Crombie had previously served as Mississauga's mayor from 2014 to 2024 but left to lead the Ontario Liberal Party. After securing a third-place finish in the 2025 Ontario general election, the party initiated a leadership review, resulting in Crombie's resignation as OLP leader earlier this year.
She is now aiming to secure the mayoral position once again, facing incumbent mayor Carolyn Parrish. Crombie emphasized that firefighters are present during families' most challenging moments, and she is grateful for their trust and support. She added that residents deserve to feel secure, and their first responders require a mayor who listens and takes action.
A safer Mississauga is what she intends to deliver. The election is scheduled for Monday, October 26, 2026.
