Our Rich History
Every cityâs history is written in the ashes of its many fires â Canadaâs Capital Region is no exception. The entire face of the Region has been dramatically altered by fire. Many historic sites including the Parliament Buildings were re-designed by fire.
To help preserve the fire heritage and the history of the capital area, a group of concerned citizens from the business and professional community joined with area firefighters to create The Bytown Fire Brigade Historical Society in the early 1980s. Incorporated on February 23, 1983, the âBytown Fire Brigadeâ is a federally registered non-profit historical society.
