It also highlights the concrete challenges our sector faces every day,” said Louis-Philippe Loiselle-Fortier, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives and Business Development at Airmedic.
“The safety of Québec residents in remote areas is central to our mission. This is why Airmedic has created a full day of virtual educational conferences. By offering this initiative free of charge to the entire Québec population, we ensure that everyone can access the tools needed to stay safe in the wilderness,” he added.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the event will offer a unique opportunity to deepen knowledge in health and safety. In addition, it will allow participants to exchange innovative ideas and discover practical solutions to real challenges. Topics will include geolocation and communication with emergency services in remote regions, first aid, risk management, and emergency situations. The program will also place particular emphasis on helicopter evacuation planning and deployment.
Furthermore, the Airmedic Safety and Health Symposium will highlight the expertise of several industry partners.
