FDIC ATLANTIC
PROVIDERS OF QUALITY FIRE TRAINING AND EDUCATION FOR FIRE SERVICE PERSONNEL
June 6th - 8th 2025, Wolfville, Nova Scotia
Welcome to FDIC Atlantic
FDIC Atlantic has become a focal point for educational seminars directed at emergency responders. Those attending, come from New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador and beyond. FDIC Atlantic has been named one of the top 4 Firefighting Conferences in Canada by Firefighting in Canada Magazine.
Firefighting is a dangerous and increasingly complex endeavour. Firefighters in Atlantic Canada face new challenges every day! We must deal with changes to firefighting technologies, providing medical help to the public, hazardous materials response, water and ice rescue, rescue from high places, industrial rescue, terrorist threats and more. We also need education and training now more than ever to protect the public. But in today's world, the resources to do this are increasingly scarce. Financial constraints are tough and the personal time firefighters spend in training is time spent away from family and other obligations.
Our Mission Statement
The Nova Scotia Chapter of the International Society of Fire Service Instructors is committed to reducing the loss of life, property and damage to the environment by providing quality fire training and education for the fire service in Atlantic Canada through the FDIC Atlantic Conference.
The Nova Scotia Chapter of the International Society of Fire Service Instructors
The Nova Scotia Chapter of the International Society of Fire Service Instructors is a nonprofit, professional association, dedicated to providing training and education to the Fire Service. We introduced the Fire Department Information Conference (FDIC Atlantic) in 1995. The objective was to provide firefighters in Atlantic Canada with the type of learning experience that had previously required expensive travel, registration and accommodation in Ontario or the USA. Through the generosity of Corporate Sponsors and our instructors who volunteer their time to present topics, we are able to keep costs down and pass these savings along to our participants.
Message from the President
On behalf of all the FDIC Atlantic Directors and myself, it is my pleasure to welcome back both returning and new delegates joining us for the 28th annual conference.
We have been busy since last year curating a selection of top-tier educational programs specifically designed for you. You’ll find some familiar faces among our speakers, as well as new ones eager to share their insights.
The 2025 schedule features a diverse array of topics that we believe are relevant to everyone in the fire service, from Chief Officers to Firefighters. We are working hard to create a dynamic event that unites passionate first responders committed to advancing their skills and knowledge within the firefighting community.
