In an emergency, you don’t need to be a professional responder to make a meaningful difference. ⛑

Good bystander action is about staying calm, thinking clearly, and acting within your comfort and scope while help is on the way. Some quick steps you can take are:

✔ Start with scene safety. Make sure the area is safe for you and others before approaching.

✔ Call EMS as soon as possible and provide clear, accurate information so responders can get to you quickly.

✔ Focus on simple, supportive actions until help arrives.

Staying present, reassuring the person, and following dispatcher instructions can all help improve outcomes. Knowing what appropriate bystander action looks like helps turn hesitation into an informed response.

🚨 St. John Ambulance Ontario is ready for the switch to CSA Standards; are you?

Effective June 22, 2026, Ontario will transition to the new CSA (Canadian Standards Association) Standard for First Aid Training. As a result, under this new legislation, the 1-day renewal course for Standard First Aid will no longer be offered. However, participants with a valid Standard First Aid certificate up for renewal will now be able to renew their certification to the Intermediate First Aid course beginning June 22, 2026.

This means:
✔ Updated, standards-aligned course content
✔ Certifications that are recognized across Canada
✔ Continued focus on hands-on, practical skills
✔ Flexible delivery options (including blended learning for Intermediate First Aid)
✔ Experienced, highly qualified instructors

*Note: that this change to CSA standards only impacts first aid training. It does not impact the regulations around first aid products such as first aid kits, AEDs, and supplies. Since 2021, St. John Ambulance Ontario has been selling first aid kits designed to comply with CSA Z1220-17 standard.

As summer gets underway, our volunteers are already preparing for what the season has in store. ⛑☀

From extreme weather to large community events, this time of year often means a higher demand for support, and trained volunteers are ready to respond when it matters most.

All summer long, St. John Ambulance volunteers are:
• Deploying Emergency Response Units during regional and national emergencies to provide medical care and logistical support
• Supporting sporting events, festivals, and community gatherings as Medical First Responders
• Visiting hospitals, care homes, libraries, and more with therapy dogs to provide comfort and connection

It’s a different kind of busy season, one focused on keeping communities safe, supported, and cared for.

Staying active is one of the simplest ways to support long-term health and well-being. 💪

On National Health and Fitness Day, we’re reminded that movement doesn’t have to be complicated; it just has to be consistent. Whether it’s walking, stretching, training, or playing a sport, physical activity plays an important role in prevention, injury awareness, and overall community wellness.

Being active also means being prepared. Minor injuries can happen anytime, so keeping a compact first aid kit nearby ensures you’re ready to respond quickly and confidently, so nothing slows you down for long.
