In addition to recognizing first responders, the second annual Stars & Cars provided vital and potentially lifesaving information from various first responder and community organizations.

“These people in our community do so many important things. Whether it’s the Edmonton police, or the Edmonton fire, or Shriners, Alberta Health Services, they play an important, critical role in our community,” Eliott said.
