Our 2025 Provincial OMFRC Event was held at Grandview Kids – Ajax, 1461 Harwood Avenue North, Ajax, Ontario on Saturday October 18, 2025. This full day event hosted 26 teams and was able to occur because of the 130+ volunteers who attended for the day to help as casualties, judges, simulators, escorts, logistics, hospitality and tabulation. This day cannot occur without all of those volunteers willing to host our invited teams from across the Province. A Very Successful day of learning and comradery for all! Congratulations to all teams! Special recognition to those placing teams:

Our Provincial Event requires ‘a Village’ of volunteers to make this day work! We need lots of volunteers from all of our Community Services and Branches willing to receive makeup and become simulated Casualties; we require as many qualified Simulators as possible, along with dozens of qualified Judges capable of evaluating at both SFA, AMFR and PRO Levels. Hospitality, Logistics, Tabulation, Escorts – the list goes on. If you are not part of a participating team, consider participating in a vital role that makes the day work! Breakfast, snacks, lunch and a great sense of comradery is being offered to all St. John volunteers willing to help!

The history of St. John Ambulance first aid competitions dates back to the 1890’s in England, to 1914 in Canada and to 1918 in Ontario.
The objectives of these first aid competitions are to improve the efficiency and quality of care provided by first aiders, to accustom first aiders to work in all types of surroundings, to build confidence in first aiders, to stimulate a healthy rivalry between competing teams, to provide the opportunity for competitors to meet and interact with their colleagues from across the province, and to allow members of the public to view the excellent care St. John Ambulance trained first aiders provide.
The “Policies, Procedures, and Rules” can be found within this official Ontario Medical First Response Competition website.
