Nanaimo's St. John Ambulance chapter hosts an open house Sunday (Jan. 25)

St. John Ambulance is hosting an open house to raise awareness of its programs, recruit new members and raise money to support its services.

The event is scheduled for Sunday (Jan. 25), noon to 4 p.m., at its office at 2250 Labieux Rd., next to the Nanaimo SPCA.

St. John Ambulance is a not-for-profit organization with the mission to save lives at work, home and play. The group offers public first-aid courses and supports the community with its adult brigade, youth program and therapy dog community service programs – all of which will be on display at the open house.

Other activities will include information booths on emergency social services and first-aid courses and registration; CPR and automated-external defibrillator demonstrations and awareness; and sales of first-aid kits, supplies and emergency preparedness kits, as well as hot dogs and refreshments by donation.
