Amid a fanfare of cheers from the assembled crown, music, and its own siren, former Pincher Creek Ambulance 1099 arrived at its new home Pallmias, a town of 6000 people in Mexico. Palmias had no ambulance before, and has a small clinic and two major highways. Southern Alberta Rotary's Los Amigos 2014 project is delivering a total of six decommissioned vehicles (5 ambulances and a Handi-bus) to communities in need through Club Rotarios de Distrito 4150 in Mexico.
