A Call For Volunteers


Things are heating up.

Between Gordon Campbell, Jean Chretien and George W. Bush, the world out 
there is getting uglier by the day.  And that means more demonstrations.

We believe that everyone not only has the right to dissent, they have the 
right to do so safely.

That’s why VFAN exists.  We’re a group of activists in the women’s,  social 
justice and labour movements who work as nurses, first aid attendants, 
paramedics and doctors in our day jobs, and others who have first aid 
training.  For several years now we’ve been providing free first aid 
coverage for movement events.  Lately, however,  things are getting to the 
point that we’re feeling a bit stretched.

If you have first aid or medical training, we’d like to ask you to consider 
joining with us.  The time commitment is flexible – even if you can only 
turn out a couple of times a year.  And the rewards are considerable (and 
completely non-material).  If you’d like more details, please contact us.
