STARS and Nutrien celebrate renewed multi-year partnership surpassing $30M in support

Saskatoon, January 15, 2026 — STARS is proud to announce the renewal of its longstanding partnership with Nutrien, which is adding $4M in new funding to bring their total contribution, in over a decade, to more than $30M. This renewed commitment directly enables STARS’ critical mission operations throughout Saskatchewan, ensuring rural and agricultural communities have access to critical care when they need it most.

“Nutrien has been an incredible and generous partner, helping STARS provide critical care across Saskatchewan for more than a decade,” said Dr. John Froh, President and CEO, STARS. ”This amazing gift will ensure that the people of this province can continue to depend on STARS and that we will be there for them where and when they need critical care.”

Nutrien’s initial support of $27 million established STARS’ home base in Saskatoon and enabled thousands of life-saving missions – 10,000 since 2012, including 921 last year alone. These missions represent real lives and real impact across rural communities.

“We’re renewing our commitment to STARS in Saskatchewan, bringing Nutrien’s total support to more than $30 million,” says Ken Seitz, President and CEO of Nutrien. “Safety, from our potash operations to the farm gate, is central to who we are, and supporting STARS reflects our pride and responsibility to the communities where we live and work.”

STARS has operated in Saskatchewan since 2012, with bases in both Saskatoon and Regina. For more information on STARS please visit stars.ca
