The Canada Walk for Veterans, supporting the Veterans Food Bank, was an amazing event that showed great organization and strong community spirit. 🙌

We were truly honored to have the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta join us, showing her support and personally thanking our teams throughout the weekend. Her presence made the event even more special and reminded us all of the importance of supporting our veterans.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success and to those who continue to stand with our veterans. 💚💚

What is an ERU?

St. John Ambulance plays a vital role in critical areas of emergency preparedness and response across Canada. Our Emergency Response Units (ERUs) are specially trained to support local, regional, and national emergencies.

ERUs provide on-site emergency care, medical care during evacuation or at shelters, search and rescue operations, community support, and more.

We are so proud of these volunteers, who arrive at every disaster with advanced first aid and life-saving skills, experience, and leadership.

On behalf of St. John Ambulance, we extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of SJA Instructor, Parrisa Paknahal. We honour her service and dedication, and our thoughts are with all who are grieving this unexpected loss. May the tree planted in her memory stand as a lasting tribute to her life and impact.

💚💚 We stand in support of all first responders and the vital role they play in our communities.

Hugs of comfort for the family, colleagues and friends of Parissa Paknahal, a young Emergency Communications Officer with the Edmonton Police Service. This is an unexpected and difficult loss for many.
A tree will be planted in honour of her.

🤲 Wash hands often: Encourage proper handwashing before meals and after recess to help prevent illness.
🩹 First aid ready: Keep a small kit in their backpack for minor cuts and scrapes.
