Steven (Steve) Sorensen served 36 years with the Sooke Fire Department leading initiatives to improve emergency services in his region and beyond.

His vision of cooperation and resource sharing resulted in strengthened mutual aid agreements with neighbouring municipalities.
Community service is, in many circumstances, the glue that helps hold a community together. I always felt somewhat lucky to live and work in the community I grew up in. Many people helped me along my path of discovery, and I am grateful for opportunities to pay it forward to others wanting to improve themselves or our community.
