I question the decision (pilot or operator or CAA) to do a black hole approach to a blacked out airport when according to my dog-eared VFR Flight Supplement the hospital has a perfectly good helipad with good approaches, floodlit ambiance, lead-in lights, pad perimeter lights, lit windsock, and the ambient cultural lighting of the entire town surrounding it.

I've seen that stupidity in Africa where you would ignore the huge floodlit ramp area by the hangars to go land 1/2 mile away on a pitch black runway lit with some feeble dying pot lights, thought Canada was smarter.
