In ceremonies through 2022, St. John Ambulance honored 26 remarkable individuals who displayed bravery in the face of adversity. These extraordinary souls administered first aid, selflessly striving to save lives and provide comfort to those in need.

Their stories unfolded like chapters in a book of inspiration. From the quick thinking of a passerby who performed CPR on a stranger, to the calm demeanor of a volunteer who rendered aid on the street in New Westminster, each act represented a beacon of hope amidst darkness.

Their actions serve as a reminder that every second counts, and that a single person armed with the knowledge of first aid can transform a tragic outcome into a life-saving moment. Through their dedication, these heroes have given us a powerful testament to the impact that even a single individual can make.

St. John Ambulance is proud to recognize these exceptional individuals, celebrating their selflessness and commitment to the well-being of others. And, as we applaud these extraordinary life savers, their stories inspire us all to embrace the importance of first aid training and to cultivate a society where every person feels empowered to act in times of crisis. Together, we can create a world where compassion, bravery, and the gift of life prevail.
