“On behalf of the entire community, I want to thank Chief Bowcock for his service to our community over the last three decades,” said Mayor Mike Hurley. “Chris has been an instrumental part of building the Burnaby Fire Department into a modern and highly effective firefighting unit. His expertise and leadership have helped make our community a safer place.”
