STARS to “rescue” community leaders from remote location
Tomorrow, a group of brave Alberta business and community leaders will be taken by STARS to an undisclosed remote location where they must raise enough money to secure their flight back to civilization. STARS Rescue in the North, presented by Hammerhead Resources, is a fundraising event featuring six participants who, through adventure, friendly competition and fun medical, aviation and endurance challenges, will raise money for STARS using their mobile phones and personal networks. This year is the first year a “Rescue” event will be held in Grande Prairie, the home of STARS’ northernmost base. This year’s brave participants include, Allen Caron, President & CEO, Caron Measurements & Controls Ltd.; Brent North, Owner, North Realty; Dustin Hoffman, Chief Operating Officer, Pipestone Energy; Jeremy St. Laurent, Owner, Liquid Edge Oilfield; Paul Driedger, Corporate Manager & Estimator, FTEN Group of Companies Inc.; Rob Adair, Division, VP, Horizon North.
