STARS Air Ambulance celebrated the City of Grande Prairie over the weekend.

In 2006, the City of Grande Prairie was the first Alberta city to support a base, and has since contributed $1.5 million to their organization, directly funding 4,787 missions.

“Every mission flown, every innovation trialed, and every new team member trained is supported through their tremendous partnership,” said STARS President and CEO Katherine Emberly.
