Marine Medics of the Gulf Islands

Occasionally, one may see a medical vessel or helicopter in the vicinity. A couple of years ago i witnessed a medivac helicopter make a very technical landing on the north shore at Monatague Provinvcial Park over sailboats and just barely avoiding the tall trees along the narrow beach. Its good to know that medical assistance is around but hopefully never finding yourself needing to make the call.

The water ambulance has the same equipment as a land based ambulance, including stretcher rack, spine boards, oxygen, and Entonox gas for pain relief.  In the most critical cases a medevac helicopter will be dispatched and in extreme weather the Canadian Coast Guard provides the ultimate backup to both ASHLEY and B.C. Ambulance Service helicopters.
