Dear Residents of Rexton and Neighbouring Communities,

We feel compelled to address recent allegations made by the Rexton Volunteer Fire Department on its Facebook page regarding harassment and disrespect from the CAO, Mayor and Council. We want to make it unequivocally clear that these allegations are not only concerning but completely unfounded.

The municipality is deeply committed to fostering a workplace environment that is respectful, inclusive, and free from any form of harassment. We take these matters very seriously, and any claims of misconduct are thoroughly investigated.

We want to assure our residents that despite the unfortunate situation with the Volunteer Fire Department’s sudden decision and ultimatum, Five Rivers has taken proactive steps to ensure continuous coverage from neighboring fire departments. Your safety and well-being remain our top priority, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that emergency services are readily available when needed.

We understand the concerns raised by these allegations, and we want to reassure you that we are taking all necessary steps to address them swiftly and effectively. Our municipality stands firm in its commitment to providing a safe and respectful workplace for all workers and volunteers.

Thank you for your continued support and trust in us as we work through this challenging situation together.

Sincerely,
Mayor Tina Beers
