Remembering Diesel vom Burgimwald

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Diesel vom Burgimwald, the incredible canine star who brought Rex to life on Hudson & Rex. Diesel’s intelligence, heart, and talent made him a beloved member of the Hudson & Rex family and a fan favorite around the world.

Rex and the Hudson & Rex team have been great friends to St. John Ambulance, and we are truly grateful for their support over the years. Our thoughts are with Sherri Davis, Diesel’s dedicated trainer, and the entire Hudson & Rex team during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Diesel. You were truly one of a kind. 🐾💙 Hudson & Rex on Citytv

Remembering Carl Reginald Mason, KStJ

With deep respect and gratitude, we remember the life of Carl Reginald Mason, KStJ, a dedicated volunteer and leader within St. John Ambulance. Carl devoted over 50 years of service, contributing more than 10,000 volunteer hours to his community.

His unwavering commitment touched every aspect of our community service programs, and his leadership extended across local boards, the Ontario Council Board, the Senate, and the National and the Priory of Canada. In recognition of his lifelong dedication, Carl was promoted to Knight of Justice in the Order of St. John in 2005 and awarded a Lifetime Membership in 2011. Carl was—a testament to his invaluable contributions.

Carl’s legacy will forever be cherished by St. John Ambulance and those privileged to serve alongside him.
A Celebration of Life will be held in his honor:
📍 Amica Senior Lifestyles (70 Lakeside Terrace, Barrie, Ontario)
📅 Saturday, February 15
⏰ 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
We invite all who knew Carl to join us in remembering and celebrating his remarkable life of service.
