St. John Ambulance is a big organization. This is the webpage for our Medical First Response group – SJA Division 176 – in Victoria, BC, Canada.

Here in Victoria, St. John Ambulance acts in several roles: Our medical first response division provides first aid services for public events, and supports other non-profits and charities with first aid outreach services in the Greater Victoria area. Please have a look around to learn more about us, book our services, or volunteer with us.

Looking to take a first aid course?

Our branch offers first aid courses and first aid supplies.

Want your kids to learn first aid and leadership?

We have some bad news — The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in some insurmountable barriers to our cadet program. SJA Cadets and youth programs IN VICTORIA have been paused until further notice. Our cadet programs in some other centres around the province are still operating.

We are very hopeful that we will be able to re-start the cadet program in the future. If you have a young person who you feel might be interested in joining, or if you are a parent who might be interested in volunteering as an organizer / leader, please let us know through our contact form on this website.

Need, or want to provide, some canine comfort?

Our therapy dog teams go out into the community to provide furry, four-legged comfort – Contact our therapy dog team at VictoriaTDP@sjabcy.ca for more information.
