More than 900 years of caring. 115 years of serving British Columbia. One shared commitment to helping others.
For more than nine centuries, the Order of St. John has answered a simple but enduring question: What does it mean to care for people when it matters most?
For the past 115 years, that legacy has lived on here in British Columbia and Yukon through first aid training, Therapy Dog visits, emergency response programs, youth leadership, and thousands of volunteers committed to making our communities safer.
Your Support Makes a Difference
Today, that legacy continues because of people like you.
Your generosity ensures that when someone needs help, St. John Ambulance is ready.
Every gift helps prepare people to save lives, supports volunteers who serve their communities, and expands programs that bring comfort, care, and confidence to those who need it most.
Whether you choose to give monthly or make a one-time gift, you are part of the same mission and part of a legacy that has endured for more than 900 years.
