New St. John Ambulance HQ Boosts Saskatchewan Services
17 Oct
Summary
- St. John Ambulance Saskatchewan opened a new provincial headquarters.
- The new location offers expanded space for classes and volunteer activities.
- A new Saskatchewan-tailored naloxone administration program is launching.
St. John Ambulance Saskatchewan has relocated its provincial headquarters to 1445 Park Street, a move that significantly increases their operational space. This larger facility is designed to better accommodate the growing demand for their services, including various levels of first aid and babysitter training courses.
The new headquarters will serve as a central point for over 350 dedicated volunteers, ranging from first aid responders to therapy dog teams. This expansion underscores the organization's commitment to community support and volunteer engagement within the province.
Excitingly, St. John Ambulance Saskatchewan is launching a new, province-specific program focused on naloxone administration. This initiative aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and resources, including take-home naloxone kits, to respond effectively to opioid-related emergencies within their workplaces and communities.
Founded in Saskatchewan in 1911, the charity has a long-standing history of service. The new headquarters officially opened its doors at the end of August.
