On June 18th, the Gas Co-ops of Alberta came together for the annual charity golf tournament as proud supporters & sponsors of the Stollery Children’s Hospital (Edmonton) & Alberta Children’s Hospital (Calgary). Both hospitals are critical to Alberta’s rural communities.  Through combined efforts, the Gas Co-ops collectively raised $15,000 with $7,500 going to each hospital.
