Administrative history

The Northwest Territories Council of St. John Ambulance (Order of St. John) formed in 1972 with Air Marshall Hugh Campbell as the founding President. The Order of St. John has its origin in the Orders of Chivalry dating back to the first Crusade in 1099. St. John Ambulance, through a brigade of volunteers and a small permanent staff provides emergency first aid services at public gatherings and instruction in such courses as First Aid, CPR, Home Nursing and Child Care. The 1976 Northwest Territories Council of St. John Ambulance included Robert (Bob) S. Pilot as President and Michael J. Hewitt as the Executive Director. In 1977, the Council acquired its own building, "St. John House" in Yellowknife.

Scope and content

This fonds consists of 827 photographs and 1 cm of textual material from 1949 to 1978, documenting the activities of St. John Ambulance and other first aid projects in the Northwest Territories. The textual records are comprised of: Jack Adderly's story about Tony Dauksa and how his life was saved by the creation of survival cairns in the arctic by St. John Ambulance; a cover page and maps that accompanied a binder of photographs; and a 1982 St. John Ambulance press release. Two of the photographs relate to a survival cairn set up by a group of St. John Ambulance Cadets (6 from Great Britain and 6 Canadians), on July 31, 1976.
