Support our Community Services
Make a donation to help programs in your community.
St. John Ambulance NS/PEI is one of Canada’s oldest charitable organizations. In most cases, we do not receive any federal government funding; therefore, it is through the generosity of donors that we are able to provide community services and programs throughout the provinces.
