In this season of renewal, progress is in the air inspiring Calgarians to gather on April 30 to celebrate the 28th annual PSAC STARS & Spurs Gala—in person.
“After two years of virtual gathering, we can now support STARS while we socialize with old and new acquaintances, enjoy fine food together and dance to live music, which has been the much-loved tradition of the Gala,” says Steve Glanville, Gala Committee Chair and President and COO of STEP Energy Services. He adds that returning to an in-person event and the upbeat mood in the province is going to make the 2022 Gala special.
PSAC members and supporters didn’t flinch through the pandemic. In 2021 COVID required that the event be virtual. Yet generous donors continued to support STARS donating $1 million, helping to save the lives of countless Western Canadians. The PSAC STARS & Spurs Gala has raised more than $18 million for STARS since 1994, making it STARS’ most significant annual fundraising event.
“PSAC’s membership works in communities where STARS operates, and we understand that these communities need us to step up to make their lives better beyond economics,” says Gurpreet Lail, President and CEO, PSAC. “Our members and supporters respond generously when PSAC asks them to support STARS. We thank them all and especially our presenting sponsor, Precision Drilling—for walking the talk with their significant contribution to the PSAC STARS & Spurs Gala.”
This year’s entertainment promises to get you tapping your foot and swaying to the music. Juno Award winner Tom Cochrane takes the stage with Red Rider to rock the audience with his international hits from four decades of performing. Also taking the stage are the winners of the 2021 Western Canadian Music Award for Country Artist of the Year, Nice Horse. The all-girl band is one of the fastest-rising musical groups in the Canada.
This year the theme is Progress is in the Air, reflecting the transformational times we are living in.
“Together, we can reach incredible new heights and build a sustainable and safe future for our tomorrow,” says Lail. “As we to rise to new challenges, let’s celebrate our successes and come together for a much-overdue in-person event. In support of STARS, and in the name of safety, let’s make this year our best one yet.”
