St. John Ambulance celebrates 100 years

It was a celebration of a century of care Tuesday for one of Manitoba’s oldest first aid and training organizations.

Staff, instructors and volunteers with the St. John Ambulance put on a casualty simulation inside the Manitoba Legislature, all part of their 100^th anniversary in Manitoba.

The celebrations also included a flag–raising ceremony.

St. John Ambulance boasts the largest instructor base for an organization in Manitoba.

Last year, more than 100 certified teachers trained 25,000 Manitobans in life–saving techniques.
