Council Report Template 70 PINE STREET, BRACEBRIDGE, ONTARIO P1L 1N3 Telephone (705) 645-2231 / Fax (705) 645-5319 / 1-800-461-4210 (705 area code) www.muskoka.on.ca To: Chair and Members Corporate and Emergency Services Committee From: Mark Stirling Muskoka Airport Manager Date: July 19, 2018 Subject: Helipad Coverage for Ornge Air Ambulance Services Report: CES-6-2018-2 ___________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation This report is provided for information. Origin On February 22, 2018, CES Committee received presentation; CES-2-2018-DEL-C entitled “Orgne Overview” from Rob Giguere, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO of Ornge. In his presentation, Mr. Giguere made reference to the coverage of helipad locations available for Ornge Helicopter use and that Orgne can provide expert guidance in the development of new helipads. The following report provides some explanation and illustrations of landing facilities identifying the level of coverage available and support for the potential consideration of additional coverage with future growth requirements. Analysis In his presentation, Mr. Giguere made reference to the supply of “12 aerodromes within 60 nautical miles of Muskoka” and to the availability of “20 helipads.” Following the presentation, a list of ‘usable’ and ‘not usable’ sites was clarified with Ornge, and the attached two maps and a list were prepared showing landing sites within 60 nautical miles of Muskoka and within The District Municipality of Muskoka (District), see Appendices “I”, “II” and “III”. Interestingly, there are seven (7) Transport Canada registered aerodromes and one (1) Transport Canada registered helipad within the District that Ornge does not normally use because they are privately owned and operated, and seasonal in nature. Their conditions, such as on-site hazards; winter snow removal; and night time lighting can vary and are generally not known. Page 1 Conversely, Ornge recognizes twelve (12) non-registered helipads within 60 nautical miles of Muskoka that are inspected annually by Ornge and are the responsibility of local operators in the community. Altogether, there are only five (5) landing sites used by Orgne within the District . These include the two registered hospital helipads (Bracebridge South Muskoka Memorial Hospital and Huntsville Memorial District Hospital); the Muskoka Airport; and two Ornge- approved non-registered helipads at Muskoka Woods Camp and another in MacTier. Supporting the area that makes up the District, are another eight (8) aerodromes and helipads just outside the District’s border such as: the Christian Island helipad; Midland/Huronia Hospital helipad; Orillia Airport (Lake St. John); Minden Hospital helipad; Haliburton/Stanhope Municipal Airport; Smoke Lake (OMNRF) helipad; Emsdale Airport and the Parry Sound Area Municipal Airport. If the District was to entertain future large scale developments that could see increased numbers of people in areas that are not currently well served by Orgne landing sites, consideration could be given to working with Ornge to develop new suitable landing sites. Financial Considerations None. Communications This report is to be circulated to the Area Municipalities within The District Municipality of Muskoka for their consideration.
