Medicine Hat, AB [August 17, 2023] — EnerStar Solutions, a leading Starlink technology and communications provider, has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to communities in crisis by swiftly deploying essential Starlink satellite services to Fort Smith, NWT. The wildfires that have swept through the Southern Fort Smith Region have disrupted lives and essential services, necessitating urgent evacuation orders to ensure the safety of residents in the community. Additionally, EnerStar Solutions has extended its support to Yellowknife and other areas in the Northwest Territories battling wildfires and evacuations.
