Authors: Jonathan Andrews, David Babb, Mike McKernan, Brian Horton, and Dr. David Barber The Centre for Earth Observation Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB. Corresponding author: Jonathan Andrews, [email protected] About this Assessment Context and Goals This climate-impact assessment was completed by researchers at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) with financial support from Transport Canada. This work is one component of a broader CEOS-Transport Canada partnership running from 2014-2016, which is a product of Transport Canada’s Network of EXpertise on Transportation in Arctic Waters (NEXTAW) program. NEXTAW is part of Transport Canada’s Northern Transportation Adaptation Initiative. The motivation for this project at CEOS and Transport Canada stems from an awareness of the significant environmental changes occurring in the Canadian Arctic and a shared desire to better understand these changes and the impact they may have on marine transportation in the area. This assessment examines the impact of climate change in Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, and Foxe Basin, and considers the resultant vulnerabilities and opportunities for the Port of Churchill’s marine operations extending to 2030 and 2050. Changes in sea ice and their consequences for shipping routes are of particular interest.

  • Busy Workload for Whitianga-Based Rescue Helicopter
    Issue 931 - 6 January 2021 Phone (07) 866 2090 Circulation 8,000 Busy workload for Whitianga-based rescue helicopter By Stephan Bosman Soon after a helicopter of the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust (ARHT) arrived at Crosby Field, the rescue helicopter base in Whitianga, for a five-week period on Monday last week, the crew were tasked on their first mission. That was followed by seven more missions before “Auld Lang Syne” could be heard across the Coromandel Peninsula as people welcomed in the New Year. “The workload of the rescue helicopter that’s at the moment based in Whitianga is evidence that we need a rescue helicopter operating from the Peninsula over long weekends and the busy holiday periods,” says Merv George, chairman of the Coromandel Rescue Helicopter Trust (the owner of Crosby Field). “Traffic around the Coromandel bordered on chaotic over the New Year’s period. Some of the patients the helicopter attended to in the few days before New Year, including motor vehicle accident victims at Kennedy Bay and Wharekaho, were seriously injured. If it wasn’t for the helicopter, it may have taken a long time for them to get to a hospital.” Craig Gibbons, CEO of Northern Rescue Helicopters Limited (a joint venture between the ARHT and the Northland Emergency Services Trust) says he is pleased that they are able to roster three helicopters, two in Auckland and one in Whitianga, on during the current summer holiday season. “It’s something we haven’t delivered in the past,” he says. “While the people on the Coromandel are supported by helicopter aeromedical services from Ardmore, Tauranga and the Waikato, the availability The first Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust crew based in Whitianga for the summer holidays inside the Crosby Field hangar on Wednesday last week.

    South Ribble Fell Search & Rescue Team 1962 - 1980 Introduction 1 The Beginning 2 Team Leaders 3 Callouts by Year 4 Amalgamation 5 Cop Lane 6 Vehicles 7 Film Callout Callout 8 Team Kit 9 The “Bomb” 10 Fell Races 11 Reunion Note £ figures in brackets are the approximate relative value in 2020 Introduction On 25th March 1962 in the fells north of Chipping 3 siblings set out on a day’s walk which was to end in tragedy with the two brothers losing their lives despite their sister raising the alarm. Mountain Rescue in England was in its formative years, there was no team for miles and no routines or protocols for calling one in to help. I believe this incident provided the final push for two teams to be formed in the county. Jim McVeigh and Peter Williams gathered together a number of people to form South Ribble Fell Search and Rescue Team, based at Cop Lane in Penwortham, Preston. The team remained at this location for most of their existence. In contrast, Ross Drysdale believed there was a need for a wider co-ordinating role, an umbrella agency, with contacts and units across Lancashire, Yorkshire and beyond, able to call upon others with specific skills; Raynet with radio communications, North West Fell and Mountaineering First Aid Unit etc, and deploy them as each incident dictates. The name of this new group reflected his aspiration, Northern Rescue Organisation (NRO) with Ross as its organiser. Attempts were made as early as 1973 to form closer ties between the two teams but these did not develop.
