With his PhD, Brampton Fire Chief Bill Boyes plans to build a brigade that reflects its community
Bill Boyes is familiar with juggling multiple tasks.

He also has two young children at home – and, on top of all that, is pursuing a PhD at the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, which he hopes will allow him to forge a new path for his profession.
