Who we are
About us
Teaching first aid and caring for our community across Northumberland County since the 1970s.
Welcome to St. John Ambulance Northumberland!
Having begun during the Crusades, St. John Ambulance is one of the oldest charities in the world today. We came to Canada in the 1880s, and to Northumberland County in the 1970s.
We proudly teach first aid to our community. We believe that first aid is an act of caring, and that everyone can be ready to help at home, at work or at play.
Training proceeds support our two volunteer programs: the Therapy Dog program, which offers friendly visits and canine companionship to those in our community who can use it most, and the Medical First Responders, who provide first aid coverage at events big and small throughout Northumberland County, helping make sure everyone has a good, safe time.
St. John Ambulance Northumberland is there to care. Join us.
