We are celebrating 125 years of saving lives at work, home and play!

Since our beginnings, we have continued to evolve to meet the needs of Canadians through a broad range of health programs and community services. In 1883, Quebec City was the first Canadian branch to teach first aid courses and over the next 10 years, St. John Ambulance grew to be a truly national health and safety organization. By 1892, we had 12 branches teaching first aid and offering a proud tradition of volunteer work from coast-to-coast. At the very core of the 125 year success of St. John Ambulance is the unwavering commitment of exceptional volunteers. Since 1912 in Canada, thousands of volunteers have received the Order of St. John - one of the five National Orders of Canada.

You are invited to join us in celebrating 125 years of top quality first aid training and community service to our communities across Canada. To mark this milestone, we will be hosting a celebratory events over two days on November 14th and 15th, 2008.
