Are there any SAR 139's operating in Canada?

Does anyone know if there are any EMS/SAR 139's operating in Canada? If so, by whom? Who would be the largest SAR/EMS operator there. Particularly in the Vancouver or BC area. Is it hard to get work in Canada?
Merry Christmas to all.

London Air, the corporate flight department of London Drugs, have two AW139s and another one being delivered next year. Rumour has it that they have bid on the BC air ambulance contract. Time will tell. Great crews and a great aircraft.
