Caring for Communities from Coast-to-Coast

Our volunteers contribute an astounding two million hours of volunteer time to communities of all sizes, in all regions of Canada. While the financial contribution of St. John Ambulance community service volunteers could be calculated in millions of dollars, the contribution to the safety of Canadians is immeasurable. When Canadians need them, our volunteers have an unmatched record of answering the call.
