Flying doctors
Hi guys, I'd like to know if exists flying doctors in Canada ? I'm writing a story and I was looking for those guys who fly to remote locations in extreme conditions to help out local communities... If you have a contact or two to share it'll be much appreciated !

This sort of thing exists in Scotland linking the remote communities of Shetland, Orkney and the Hebrides.

ORNGE uses helicopters and fixed wing a/c. In northwestern Ontario there are a number of isolated first nation communities that have no road access and rely on air transportation. ORNGE provides these places with medevac service.
I saw a video on the internet about an emergency medevac using a King Air flying to Winnipeg, with a critical patient on board. I can't seem to find it but maybe with a bit of searching it will show up.

Try talking to Dr. Granger Avery in Port McNeill, BC. I remember reading somewhere that he flies around the mid-coast in a chartered Beaver, holding clinics at various hard-to-reach communities..
