Riders beat Lions to punch ticket to CFL West final
Nov 03, 2024
The Riders are back in the West final for the first time since 2021.
Helicopter air ambulance service STARS is celebrating after a radiothon brought in almost a half-million dollars to support its operations in Saskatchewan.
The annual Critical Care on the Air Radiothon was heard on 40 stations across Saskatchewan. The two-day event shared stories from flight crew members and patients like Ryan Straschnitzki, whose life was saved when he was airlifted to hospital by STARS after the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018.
Donations to this year’s radiothon brought in $433,548.

“Thanks to you we will continue to explore industry leading innovations, provide the highest quality critical care, and deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients,” Emberly said in a statement.
STARS said all the funds will directly support its operations in Saskatchewan “and pursuing emerging innovations that will help shape the future of critical care.”
