Emergency Services Day was a day to say "Thank You" to our local hero's for putting their lives on the line, this coming 11 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  Carla Van Der Breggen says she stopped to sign the card to show her appreciation for people who go out and save lives.

"It's a great way to show appreciation.  It's a small way, but it's a great way."

Van Der Breggen explains she was just thinking this morning about the families who have to relive the tragedy 11 years later, adding it really does tug on your heartstrings.

Many residents came out to show their support by signing a "Thank You" card at the Steinbach Fire Hall and Ste Anne Coop locations.  Overall Emergency Services Day was a great success with a lot of positive feedback.
