Guest Host (Emcee)
We are so fortunate to have such a quality group of Canadian personalities stepping up to host the Hell or High Water 12-hour Telethon. Each emcee hosts the event for approximately 2 hours from a remote location in Canada. A technology feat in itself. The video of each segment with a guest emcee, musicians, special guests and/or dignitaries is available here.
The Hell or High Water Telethon was held online on March 13th, 2022 from 10 AM to 10 PM.
Here are our emcees.
Our Guest Hosts
Amber Marshall
Amber Marshall is a rare find in the busy world of today. A strong role model for many, she captivates audiences across the globe in her leading role as Amy Fleming on Heartland. This popular television drama set on an Alberta ranch has been in the homes of millions for well over a decade. Not only does Marshall play a horse lover on television; she lives the cowgirl lifestyle. Hardworking, independent and talented, Amber has been pursuing her life goals since she was old enough to voice them.
Amber left behind the rolling hills of southwestern Ontario and now proudly makes her home in the same beautiful terrain of southern Alberta that is depicted on Heartland. This is where reality departs from the myth-making of television as Amber and her husband competently manage their own ranch. Horses are as big a part of her home life as they are of her workday. She currently has several horse companions on her 100 acre home as well as cattle, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. https://AmberMarshall.com
