One man was medically evacuated near the French River thanks to members from three Royal Canadian Air Force squadrons.
On Thursday while conducting pilot training, a crew representing 417 Combat Support Squadron, 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, 444 Combat Support Squadron, 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador and 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron, 8 Wing Trenton received a request from the OPP to assist with the transport of the man to hospital after he had fallen off a dock onto rocks.
The CH-146 Griffon search and rescue crew ceased training and flew to the area, meeting the OPP and paramedics at a local helicopter pad. The patient was subsequently evacuated and transferred to hospital in Sudbury, Ontario.
