Cann River staff win
can-do honour
Staff of the Department of Sustainability and Environment at the Department’s Cann River workcentre have received certificates of appreciation for their ongoing commitment to community safety.
Victoria Police Superintendent Geoff Newby said the certificates were in recognition of the support and dedication the DSE staff showed to their community and partner agencies in emergency responses and for their willingness to help out in areas other than fire management.
“The Cann River DSE team is exceptional in their commitment to their work and their community,” Superintendent Newby said.

“They are always available to turn out and help others, whether it’s for emergencies or at community events.
“We wanted to show our appreciation for that assistance.”
Coordinator of Fire and Operations with DSE at Cann River, James Pardew was recognised individually for his tireless work in the local community, his assistance and support on a range of community projects over the years, and his ongoing commitment to emergency response.
“James is obviously passionate about his community and that’s demonstrated by the number of local projects he’s been involved in and the numerous occasions he has helped and supported local groups and individuals,” Superintendent Newby said.
“We congratulate James and his DSE colleagues for their efforts in establishing and maintaining positive interagency partnerships and greater community safety for Cann River.”
Superintendent Newby said Mr Pardew and the crew’s ongoing support to community safety in Cann River was well documented and commended by former Police Commissioner Neil Comrie in his evidence to the Royal Commission in April 2010.
DSE's award-winning team.
