Local St. John branch
is the best in B.C.

FOR THE first time in 24 years, a Lower Mainland team
took first place in the Annual Workers’ Compensation
Board Provincial First Aid Competitions held June 17 in

Prince George.

The North Shore St. Johns Am-
bulance Branch team beat out
seven teams, representing zones
from around the province, at the
32nd annual event to bring home
the first place ranking and a berth
in the International First Aid
Competition, which is scheduled to
be held Oct. 1 in England.

This is the second time the team
has competed in the provincial
competition. Last year it placed
second,

Said team coach Tory Lyttle,
“We felt very confident going into
the competition this year. Our
team has worked hard and steady
since last year and we've been
steadily progressing. Our last prac-
tices before Prince George were
very successful and we really camie
together.”

The last time a Lower Mainland
team won the provincial competi-
tion was in 1965 when a Vancouver
Police team placed first.

Sn England, the St. John team
will be competing against teams
from Britain and Europe. Teams
will be tested for their skills in
diagnosis and treatment of acci-
dent victims.

The Workers’ Compensation
Board will give the St. John team a
grant of $5,000 to help cover ex-
penses. Said Lyttle, ‘‘To our
knowledge, we are the only team
representing Canada.”’

According to Lyttle, interna-
tional level competitions are dif-
ferent from those in Canada.

The team will therefore have to
learn a completely different tech-
nique of approaching first aid
treatment. It will be given the op-
portunity to practise international
techniques at a competition in Port
Hardy in August. The team will
also spend two weeks prior to the
international competition training
with the Thames/London Police
Group.

The North Shore St. John team
members are Richard Matthews,
Linda Fehner, Sarah Rogers, Cari
Glinsbockel, Patrick Monk and
Tony Lyttle. The local team has
been competing for five years.

The team is currently looking
for corporate sponsors to support
the cost of getting the team to
England. To heip, calf the focal Se.
