Each year St. John Ambulance is proud to honour the citizens of Newfoundland and Labrador for their contributions and acts of bravery. The Order of St. John recognizes individuals who have saved or attempted to save a life, regardless of the risk, through the application of first aid skills. Life-saving awards are bestowed on individuals who, in a conspicuous act of gallantry, have endangered their own lives in saving or attempting to save another life.
The Annual Investiture and Life-Saving Awards Ceremony is June 10th at 2:30pm at the Anglican Cathedral Church in St. John's.
