2026 North City First Responder Sensory Support Kits Initiative

North City First Responder Sensory Support Kits Initiative

North City Insurance Brokers is proud to stand alongside Ontario’s fire service community. Our commitment extends beyond insurance to the partnerships and initiatives that support firefighters and the people who count on them.

Today, we’re proud to share our contribution to the First Responder Sensory Support Kit initiative, in partnership with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council (FMPFSC).

Designed in collaboration with Autism Canada and built and distributed by the FMPFSC, these kits provide practical tools to help reduce stress, support communication and create calmer, more compassionate interactions with individuals with autism and sensory sensitivities during emergencies.

250 kits. A shared commitment to more inclusive emergency response.

North City donated 250 kits to fire departments across Ontario, expanding our contribution from an initial 50 kits, to ensure every department that applied would receive kits. Our team was also on the road, personally delivering kits and connecting with the firefighters who will put them to use.

For every kit purchased, $5 goes to Autism Canada to support awareness, education and resources for autistic individuals and their families

We’re proud of the partnerships we’ve built and the contributions we’ve made over the past 45 years—and we remain committed to supporting Ontario’s fire service community for years to come.

Thank you for the care, courage and dedication you bring to your communities every day.
