The Savary Island Volunteer Fire Department has a new look.
The qathet Regional District announced a new logo earlier this week, saying it is designed to graphically represent the mission of the fire department through three components.
The emblem, the Maltese cross, symbolizes the commitment of firefighters to protecting lives and property. The second component shows the two services the department provides, firefighting and medical first response, as the fire helmet and star of life respectively.
The third component shows a marine safety buoy, which aims to reflect on the challenges firefighters face in the area. It also comes with a focus on preserving the Island’s appeal.
Board chair Clay Brander says in today’s society showing respect or consideration is huge.
“This includes valuing human rights, promoting inclusivity, and standing against all forms of discrimination, bullying, and harassment,” said Brander.
He says the district thanks the volunteers for their efforts and are happy to endorse the new logo.
