St. John Ambulance

The Swift Current St. John Ambulance is inviting you to their newly renovated facility at 610 Cheadle Street.

Jan Leoppky-Mackay is the Training Centre Manager and says after 8 months the center is opening to the community.

"Were in a really good space now we are more visible than before,  we are off the street, we have lots of parking and there is only 3 steps to go up. Before we had lots of steps to go up so that deterred lots of people," said Leoppky-Mackay.

The newly renovated space will also help them be able to have more room for training purposes.  

"The classroom offers a larger space for the practical skills to be done, so there is some classroom work where you are listening to the instructor and watching the PowerPoint and there is a lot of practice that is what we try and focus on."

To celebrate the move they are holding a Charity BBQ next Wednesday 11- 2pm.

"We have been here since June 1st, and it has taken a bit of work for the grand opening next week on April 30th.  We are really looking forward to that  we are having BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs and it by donation to our Therapy Dog program."
