Southland Transportation, a member of the STA Family of brands based in Calgary, AB Canada is once again supporting the Los Amigos Project, a long running initiative that delivers much needed emergency and transportation vehicles to underserved communities in Mexico.
Led by Alberta Rotary Clubs, the Los Amigos Project donated more than 60 decommissioned emergency vehicles—including fire trucks, ambulances, and handi-buses—since 2011. These refurbished vehicles provide essential services such as fire protection, medical transport, and accessible transportation in communities that may otherwise lack critical resources.
Southland Transportation contributed two handi‑buses to the 2026 convoy—doubling its typical annual donation—and has supported the Los Amigos Project for several years by providing accessible vehicles that can continue to serve students and individuals with disabilities long after their service life in Canada.
“At STA, we believe strongly in giving back in meaningful, practical ways,” said Arjan Slagmolen, Regional Director of Southern Alberta. “Donating vehicles through the Los Amigos Project allows our equipment to keep making a difference by supporting safety, mobility, and opportunity in communities that truly need it.”
The Los Amigos Project is made possible by months of preparation, fundraising, and volunteer effort. Rotary members and volunteer drivers spend nearly a year refurbishing each vehicle, often working with local colleges to ensure they are road-ready and safe for long term use. We are honored to support this impactful initiative and help extend the life—and purpose—of our vehicles far beyond our borders.
