STARS Ambulance

That's a wrap for the 2026 Rescue in the North and a Night with STARS Gala! ✨

Yesterday, four brave rescue participants completed a series of skill-testing challenges while raising funds for STARS. Not only did they meet their personal fundraising goals of $50,000.00; they exceeded them. In total, they raised more than $575,000.00!!

Thank you to our sponsors, everyone who donated, and to our wonderful participants who put everything on the line in support of STARS: Heather Hilhorst (Partner, Regional Tax Leader, MNP), Darren Henley (General Manager, Caron Measurement & Controls), Jodi Bloomer-Kaput (Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer, Canadian Fiber Optics), Robert Shipway (Owner, Provincial Rentals)

Today, in honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we want to acknowledge the traditional territories of many Indigenous Nations in which our STARS bases are located on, including Treaty 7 (Calgary), Treaty 6 (Edmonton and Saskatoon), Treaty 8 (Grande Prairie), Treaty 4 (Regina), and Treaty 1 (Winnipeg).

We are committed to fostering reconciliation, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work while remembering the survivors, families, and communities who continue to endure the lasting impacts of Canada's Residential School system.

We extend our gratitude to the Indigenous peoples who have cared for and stewarded these lands, now known as Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, for generations and are dedicated to building meaningful partnerships as part of our mission to serve all who need us. 🧡
