Second Life for First Aid Supplies

Today we want to give a shout-out to the St. John's Ambulance Brigade in Whitehorse. Its volunteers do a great job of providing first aid services at community events. Last week we were able to help them out by donating several boxes of first aid supplies that they can use for training purposes.

Yukon Occupational Health and Safety regulations require us to keep our first aid supplies up to date. Instead of throwing out our old supplies, we wanted to find another use for them that could benefit the public. The local St. John’s Ambulance Brigade expressed an interest in using the supplies to train their members and we were happy to oblige.

For Yukon Energy it’s a win-win situation. All our facilities now have up-to-date first aid kits, and we’ve been able to put the old supplies to good use that will benefit the community as a whole.
