Teck, May 17, 2023 - CANADA - Teck Resources Limited and STARS announced that Teck is making a $300,000 donation over three years to STARS in celebration of their 30-year partnership.
This contribution will support STARS in providing care and transport to patients who need critical care in the Elk Valley and surrounding communities in southeastern British Columbia.
STARS is a non-profit organization that exists to provide critical care, anywhere. Whether by air, by ground or virtually, the expert care delivered by STARS doctors, nurses and paramedics comes in many forms.
STARS is the only service of its kind in Western Canada and over the past year flew 29 missions in the Regional District of East Kootenay, including ten to the Elk Valley.
Teck’s contribution will help support STARS operations, including hiring talented and motivated crews, purchasing the latest medical supplies, and treating patients with the care, precision and timeliness to help ensure their best chance of survival.
To celebrate their 30 years of partnership, STARS was on site with Teck and the East Kootenay Mining Industrial Safety Association (EKMISA) at the 100th Annual East Kootenay Zone Mine Rescue Competition in Sparwood on May 13th. Teck, EKMISA, and STARS will also be hosting an Awards Banquet following the competition, which will be attended by approximately 400 guests.
Teck’s first gift toward STARS operations was in July 1993. To date, Teck’s contributions have supported operations which have played a part in the more than 55,000 missions STARS has carried out since its inception.
