Q & A

You have questions, We have the answers

When is the fundraising for the new fire station going to start?

The fundraising started over 13 years ago when we realized that we had outgrown our present facility. While we have received substantial funding from the Federal, Provincial and Municipal Queens/Annapolis governments to build a new Fire Hall and Business Hub, we are now approaching Queens and Annapolis County businesses and residents and asking them to show their support by donating what they can to make a difference in our community. All donations are welcome and appreciated. (See below on how to donate.)

Will there be a square foot club, buy a brick or something else similar?

We thank everyone in advance for making a donation of $100 or more to our community’s future. Although at this time we do not have a concrete concept of what that would look like, be assured that the donations exceeding $100.00 will be publically recognized.

How do I make a donation and what will it be used for?

Every bit helps. There are two options to make donations. You can click here and a form will open in a new window. You can print the form off, complete all the necessary information, and send it by Canada Post to North Queens Fire Association, 9793 Hwy #8, PO Box 166, Caledonia, N.S. B0T1B0, or secondly, you could e-mail the completed form back to the Fire Department to info@northqueensfire.ca and we will send an acknowledgement to you on how to complete your donation. All of the money raised will be used to better our community by building the new fire hall and business hub. Thanks in advance for your donation.

Can I make a donation in memory of someone?

Honouring a loved one by donating in their name is the best way to immortalize them and keep his or her memory alive. We will gladly accept “In Honour”; “In Memory” or “In Dedication” donations of loved ones. On the form provided click here there is a section that identifies your pledge wishes.

I would like to give but I can’t afford much right now, can I give over time?

All of the donations add up, every dollar helps. We will work with you. Payment schedules are available for your convenience to give what you can give, when you can give it. Click here for your donation options, or e-mail info@northqueensfire.ca if you would like to discuss more options.

Will I get a tax receipt?

With a donation of over $10.00 you will receive a tax receipt. You may claim this donation on your income tax, which can reduce income tax within limits prescribed by law and Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA).
