Air ambulance service receives grant from PRRD
DAWSON CREEK, B.C. — The Peace River Regional District has approved a grant request from STARS Air Ambulance.
STARS requested that the board authorize a multi-year grant of $170,000 per year for three years, starting in 2023, for a total of $510,000.
STARS is a non-profit organization, and the funding from the board would go towards helping with core operational costs.
The regional district said it’s been a supporter of STARS since 2009 and, since that time, has provided over $2 million in grants towards the air ambulance service.
The air ambulance service operates out of Alberta and has run a total of 15 missions into the Peace River area in 2022. Ten of these missions were to municipal sites, and five were to rural sites.
