STARS air ambulance welcomed its latest Airbus H145 helicopter named after Melfort resident Rod Gantefoer to the Melfort Hospital Monday.
The aircraft’s registration marks are “C-GFRG,” and the last three letters stand for “Founder Rod Gantefoer.”
“It’s unexpected and an honour,” Gantefoer said.
Gantefoer was instrumental in the development and implementation of STARS in Saskatchewan.
“He got us going,” STARS president and CEO Andrea Robertson said. “We’re forever grateful. We’ve had incredible support here in Saskatchewan.”
Gantefoer also led the fundraising initiative for the Melfort Heliport project.
