St. John Ambulance’s Enduring Purpose

Our innovative programs ensured that 51,551 British Columbians and Yukoners received the highest quality training in 2022, equipping them with the skills to enhance their health, safety, and overall quality of life. Through our courses, we not only promote personal preparedness but also further our charitable work, providing expert assistance, care and compassion in times of disaster. Our dedication to excellence and community empowerment drives us to be a steadfast presence when it matters most.

Together, we are committed to building a safer, more resilient society. By investing in our programs, we contribute to the collective effort of creating a positive impact that improves health, safety, and quality of life for all. At SJA BCY, we stand ready to serve, driven by our unwavering commitment to excellence and our belief in the power of community.

Our values guide us in how we do what we do:

Serve with compassion:

We are there when people need us, honouring and treating others how we want to be treated. We listen, appreciate, and lift others up with patience, generosity, and respect.
Foster contagious collaboration:

We seek out and share ideas to come up with the best solution. We welcome diverse voices to help create meaningful change, participating fully and celebrating team spirit.
Embrace change:

We are forward-thinking and see change as an opportunity to make things better. We are receptive to new ideas and ways of doing things, challenging the status quo constructively. We are open and willing to learn from both successes and failures.
Step up:

We take ownership of our actions, behaviors, decisions, and attitudes, personally and on behalf of our teams. We are proactive, jumping into action with a sense of urgency. We respond and follow up in a timely, effective way, being accountable.
