Another Canadian floatplane crash, 4th in a month

By my count this is the fourth floatplane crash in Canada in the past month. At least three involved charter ops.

4 dead, 5 in hospital after floatplane crash north of Vancouver Island

CBC News -- Four people are dead and five are in hospital after a floatplane crashed Friday off the central coast of B.C.

The Cessna 208 crashed just after 11 a.m. PT on Addenbroke Island, about 100 kilometres north of Port Hardy, B.C., on Vancouver Island. The five survivors were flown by helicopter to hospital in Port Hardy, according to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre.

Two are in critical condition, the other three are in serious but stable condition, according to B.C. Emergency Health Services.

The charter plane had been en route to Calvert Island, a few kilometres west of Addenbroke Island. The plane's departure point is not known.
