The registration C-GIWD has been assigned to four different aircraft nominally owned by Toronto businessman Ian Delaney, the former Chairman of Sherritt International. These include a Cessna 750 (2002-2003), DHC-2 Beaver (2004-2006), this Eurocopter EC120B (2006-2018) and a DHC-6 Twin Otter (2018-present) (2022). The EC120B was imported by Eurocopter Canada in Apr. 2006 as C-GJUH and flew with Silverline Helicopters (Feb 2005-Apr 2006) before sale to Delaney in April 2006. It was serious damaged when the engine flamed out in cold weather near Brampton-Caledon Airport, Ontario on Feb. 6, 2016.

Airborne Geophysical Exploration company Prospectair has owned this Colibri since 2012.

Not much is known about malaysian company "Integrated Training & Services", except that in 2005/2006 it tried to provide basic helicopter flight training for the Royal Malaysian AF. For that, the company aquired four EC120s registered 9M-HAA through 9M-HAD, but never really "took off". 9M-HAB shown here was built in 1998 and as such is one of the first Colibri's coming off the assembly line. It previously flew as SE-JDP with HeliNord in Sweden before joining ITS in 2005. In April 2007 it was sold to North America, where it has been flying as C-GOCA for different helicopter operators.

The York Regional Police started helicopter operations with a donated Enstrom 480B which was replaced by this Eurocopter EC120B. This helicopter was imported by Eurocopter Canada Ltd. in Aug 2000 and sat in inventory as C-GGVW until delivered to York Region in January 2003 as C-GYRP. The helicopter is based at Toronto Buttonville Airport and patrols between the north border of the City of Toronto and Lake Simcoe.

Eurocopter Canada Limited of Fort Erie, Ontario delivered this EC120B to businessman Shawn Murray of Barrie, Ontario in April 2007. Between July 2008 and August 2009 it was leased to National Helicopters Ltd. of Bolton, Ontario where it was photographed at the company heliport during an open house.
