I would suggest you contact the NTSB. They become involved in at least monitoring helicopter crashes involving helicopters built in the USA or built by a USA registered company (Bell Mirabel). Of course their database would not include Eurocopter helicopters unless they were built in the USA.

Here is your point of contact:

Latricia Carter RE-50
NTSB
490 L’Enfant Plaza, S.W.
Washington<DC 20594-2000

(202) 314 6000

Latricia Carter may not be involved in this position anymore but the function is still there. The name of the Department is Aviation Accident Data Specialist Analysis and Data Division. Ask her if it is possible to get a print out of helicopter accidents that happened in Canada. The reason I think they can help you is because several years ago I asked for a printout of all Robinson accidents and the list included crashes in the US as well as in Europe, Canada and south and Central America and the pacific regions. To be more specific, give her a listing of all of the helicopter types employed in Canada.

Or, you can log onto the NTSB website and check all of the accidents since this listing started many years ago. It lists all aviation accidents so it will take a lot of digging
