CHFD is a Canadian television station. It is a CTV affiliate, broadcasting on channel 4 and cable 6 in Thunder Bay, and via a translator in the Armstrong area (CKAR-TV, channel 8 with an ERP of 0.01kw). It can also be seen on the Bell ExpressVu (channel 222) and Star Choice (channel 314) satellite services.
The station is part of the Thunder Bay Televisiontwinstick with the CBC affiliate CKPR, owned by Dougall Media. It is one of only three CTV-affiliated stations in Canada that are not owned and operated directly by CTV.
Just like its sister station CKPR, its program schedule is a little odd. While it does air a good portion of the CTV schedule, it also airs a fair bit of Global and CH programming, and CTV programmes pushed off to make way for such programs are seen on the CBC station, CKPR.
CHFD went on the air for the first time on October 14, 1972.
Firefighter Jim Lyons, a member of CHFD Ladder Co. 2 and coordinator for this event, is credited with initiating the idea.
As all the children did arts & crafts with the MDA representatives, their parents and families were brought in to a classroom for an education on Safety for the Disabled.
The afternoon was rounded off with the children squirting a hose from the departments brush truck, 1379, and then treated to a repelling demonstration by the CHFD Technical Rescue team.
