About Us

St. John Ambulance is a charitable, humanitarian organization.  For over 75 years, the Barrie Simcoe Muskoka branch has been providing first aid and other health care related courses and remains dedicated to saving lives at work, home and play. 

Our mission is to enable Canadians to improve their health, safety and quality of life by providing training and community service.  We carry out our mission through community service, and first aid, and CPR training.

First aid and CPR training comprises instructors, volunteers and staff who provide high-quality first aid training and products. Under the guidance of our network of medical and health care professionals, St. John Ambulance is the national leader, setting the standard for training in first aid, CPR and other lifesaving skills.

Community Services volunteers include uniformed members who serve communities across Simcoe County and Muskoka, providing first aid and emergency response support, inspecting infant car seat installations as well as improving the quality of life for people confined to a health care facility through our Therapy Dog visitation program.  Our volunteers contribute 36,000+ hours to our local communities each year.

Proceeds from St. John Ambulance's first aid training and first aid product sales directly support these community services programs.
