May 7, 2025 - Grand Opening of Leeds 1000 Islands Fire Station 2

The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands is excited to announce the completion of the new Leeds 1000 Islands Fire Station 2 and invites community members to join the celebration at a grand opening and open house on Saturday, May 31, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The new Fire Station 2 replaces the Seeley’s Bay Fire Station, which has dutifully served the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands since 1951.

The new 7,808 square foot facility is built to post-disaster standards with three drive-thru bays.  The space allows for up to 30 firefighters and a full classroom-style training room for firefighter education.

The grand opening and open house will take place on Saturday, May 31, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 3306 County Rd 32, Seeley’s Bay.  Everyone is welcome to attend.
