Story

Benedict Joy joined the Edmonton Fire Department on December 16, 1963 and retired as a Battalion Chief on December 31, 1995. He served his community faithfully and with courage for 32 years.  He viewed his colleagues as his second family and truly loved the time they spent together on the job, cooking in the firehouse kitchen and supporting one another in work and in everyday life. Being a firefighter brought him a great amount of pride and fulfillment even in his final days and we know he would be honoured to know he was a part of this day.
