Fire Chief for a Day
Fire Chief Jerry Peach of the St. John's Regional Fire Department (SJRFD) passed over control of the Department to Kate Gibbons on Thursday, November 9.

Kate is this year's winner of the annual SJRFD Fire Chief for a Day contest. Chief Gibbons was picked up at her home by a SJRFD fire truck on Thursday morning and driven to school to discuss fire prevention before visiting fire stations in  St. John`s, Mount Pearl, and Paradise. The tour concluded in Paradise, where she met with Mayor Dan Bobbett at Paradise Station No. 8.
Operation: Recess
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC), with help from the Town of Paradise, and other municipalities in the region, have launched Operation: Recess. This Operation is aimed at reducing highway traffic act violations in and around school zones by enforcing a zero-tolerance policy. Working with the Town's Municipal Enforcement Officers, the RNC will have increased patrols in the four school zones in the Town: Paradise Elementary, Holy Family Elementary, Octagon Pond Elementary and Elizabeth Park Elementary. The public can expect that police will use covert enforcement measures as well as overt measures such as LiDAR and RADAR for speed enforcement in Town school areas.
