noah armstrong
I’m Noah Armstrong and my sister is Sarah Canfield. We are the children of the late Greg Armstrong. Our Dad was heavily involved in the Tema Foundation, serving as their chaplain for the last 15 years. He was a Chaplain with Toronto Paramedic Services and Springwater Fire and Emergency Services as well as an Educator with the Tema Foundation. His life was devoted to helping people “stay well to serve well”. Our Dad also suffered with PTSD himself and we’ll be sharing how his injury impacted his personal and family life.
Noah lives with his wife Melanie, new baby Josie, and golden retriever Riggs in Stayner, ON. Noah started his career in emergency services as a paid-on-call firefighter with Springwater Township, serving for 2 years. For the last 5 years he has been working full time as a Paramedic with the County of Simcoe. In his free time he enjoys running, mountain and gravel biking, and scuba diving.
