The government is investing over $108 million to expand Ornge Air Ambulance’s fixed wing fleet with four additional state-of-the-art planes in addition to replacing their existing eight fixed wing fleet. This investment will ensure Ornge’s air ambulance service can continue to provide Ontarians, especially those living in rural and remote communities, with consistent access to high-quality urgent care.
We are also providing Ornge with nearly $10 million to move from their existing Sudbury base to a larger hangar in the city that can house both their helicopter and expanded fixed wing services in one base. This new hangar will help better coordinate emergency care in the north to ensure Ontarians receive the high-quality care they deserve no matter where they live.
Through Your Health: A Plan For Connected and Convenient Care, Ontario is building a health care system that delivers the right care in the right place.
