Midland proclaims St. John Ambulance Week

Proclamation
St. John Ambulance Week
June 23 to June 29, 2025

Whereas, the York-Simcoe-Muskoka Branch of St. John Ambulance has been serving the community since 1941 and fulfilling their mission of enabling Canadians to improve their health, safety, and quality of life by providing training and community service; and

Whereas, St. John Ambulance is an integral part of the community, offering unique and innovative programs, including medical first response, disaster response, car seat installation clinics, health and safety related youth programs, and therapy dog services; and

Whereas, today, in more than 300 communities across Canada, more than 10,000 St. John Ambulance volunteers provide over one million hours of community service per year. The financial contribution of St. John volunteers could be calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars. The contribution to safety of Canadians is immeasurable.

Now therefore, I, Mayor Bill Gordon on behalf of the Town of Midland, do hereby proclaim June 23 to June 29, 2025, as St. John Ambulance Week in the Town of Midland.
