The Town of Coronach and the Coronach EMS Staff said their fundraising goal in achieving sufficient donations for a new ambulance was successful in an announcement issued on Oct. 30.
A new unit for Coronach and the RM of Hart Butte is necessary, since the current ambulances in the region have high mileages and are becoming unreliable.
Being in a remote community with limited health care options makes a reliable ambulance a necessity in Coronach.
Over the past two years, Coronach EMS Staff members, Carrie Schnell, Angela Gent and Janna Vancuren, have dedicated themselves to fundraising for an EMS vehicle. Their successful fundraising efforts, along with a final donation, will allow Town of Coronach and the surrounding area to secure a new ambulance for the Â鶹´«Ã½AV Central Saskatchewan district close to the U.S. border.
The ambulance is expected to be completed and delivered in April 2021.
The collaboration between Coronach Town Council and the Coronach EMS has flourished. Also, several sponsors backed the community’s donation project for a new ambulance. Â
