This Sikorsky S-76A, C-GIMZ owned by Canadian Helicopters (CHL) was an air ambulance in Ontario for many years and is seen at the old heliport at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, which now has a rooftop pad. Ontario launched a helicopter EMS program in the late 1970s using contract helicopters, with the first "Bandage 1" in Toronto, a Bell 212. Ornge was formed in 2007 to take over management of the EMS program and later paid $28 million for 11 used CHL S-76As, including C-GIMZ. These were replaced by a fleet of AW139s starting in 2010. Some of S-76s were donated to tech schools.
