St. John Ambulance is currently raising $8.5 million toward their Building on a Caring Tradition capital campaign for a new training and community service centre. Learn more about the capital campaign.
Manitoba’s leader in lifesaving training, St. John Ambulance has trained over 22,000 Manitobans in First Aid, CPR, and AED lifesaving skills. They provide various levels of training seven days a week throughout the year and have over 125 dedicated instructors across Manitoba. Their clients include individuals, government, crown corporations, major industries, and companies across the province.
Their volunteer community service programs include medical first responders, who provide emergency medical care at sporting events, concerts, fairs, and many other community events across Manitoba. Many people may not be aware that their therapy dog teams visit and provide comfort and care to the sick and elderly in hospitals and care homes and help improve youth literacy through their T.A.I.L.S (Therapy Animals in Literacy Services) and Special Paws for Special Kids programs.
Together, over 500 dedicated volunteers provide tens of thousands of hours of service each year.
