Description
En tant que fondation de l’Ordre de Saint-Jean, Ambulance Saint-Jean assure la prestation de cours de secourisme au Canada depuis maintenant 125 ans. De l’aide apportée sur les chantiers ferroviaires de la Belle Époque et dans les hôpitaux militaires de la Première Guerre mondiale aux programmes et services offerts par l’organisme bénévole que nous connaissons aujourd’hui, le présent ouvrage décrit les inestimables contributions de l’Ordre à notre pays et retrace la remarquable histoire de tous ceux qui ont permis à l’Ordre d’exister.
Perpétuant une ancienne tradition hospitalière qui remonte aux dixième et onzième siècles, l’Ordre de Saint-Jean moderne prit racine dans la reprise des activités de bienfaisance en Angleterre en 1831. En 1883, la constitution de l’Ordre de Saint-Jean au Canada marqua le début d’une longue et distinguée histoire de services rendus aux Canadiens et aux populations du monde entier. Organisme bénévole national regroupant plus de 25 000 Canadiens, Ambulance Saint-Jean demeure à ce jour le chef de file canadien en matière de formation en secourisme.
