A HALO school event that hasn’t taken place since 2019 is returning to the Hat.
“It’s affectionately referred to as the HALO Emergency Services Schools Day,” said CEO of HALO Paul Carolan. “We have static displays from Medicine Hat Police (Services), Medicine Hat Fire, Southeastern Alberta Search and Rescue, the fixed wing air ambulance program, Cypress County Emergency Services, Redcliff RCMP and potentially a couple of other fire departments.”
Displays will be set up around the hangar with HALO pilots and the helicopter also on site. HALO has partnered with Prairie Rose Public Schools and the student-built plane of its Flight Academy will also be there.
Grade 4-6 students from all three local school divisions have been invited and more than 500 kids are expected to attend.
“They will come with their teachers and supervisors and the kids will be allowed to wander through all those different displays, see things and ask questions,” said Carolan.
