Community Involvement
Improving lives is embedded in our company’s culture.
At Crestline, community involvement is an integral part of our identity, and employees share our energy and enthusiasm for giving back, creating a sense of belonging and common purpose.
We have a long and proud history of supporting local, regional, and national community initiatives that reflects one of our core values – embodying family spirit. Our products already play a key role in helping paramedics assist the most vulnerable; caring for the well-being of others feels like our overall corporate responsibility.
By actively engaging in community-based initiatives; partnering with various educational institutions; supporting industry associations; participating in trade shows & events; and providing financial donations for non-profits and community organizations, our goal is to help shape a better world, one act of kindness at a time.
We are involved in our local community of Saskatchewan.
As a company founded by Saskatchewan entrepreneurs, giving back to our local community isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a privilege. It’s also a heartfelt commitment that drives us to make a tangible and lasting impact right here in a place we are proud to call home.

Our kindness goes beyond borders.
The financial participation of the company and its employees also translates into various acts of philanthropy as they arise internationally. For instance, we raised money for the Canadian Red Cross – Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. Another example is the Ukraine EMS Project from 2015. Crestline partnered with MD Ambulance to refurbish 12 donated ambulances from EMS services in Western Canada and send them to Ukraine.
