Transport Canada officials got a first-hand look Wednesday at the new helipad at Bluewater Health.
Certification by the federal institution is necessary in order for the Sarnia hospital to gain a license to transport patients.
Bluewater Health hopes to be able to use the landing area to move patients by next month.
Construction on the $1 million project began in May.
A landing demonstration was held earlier this month at the helipad with Ornge, which provides air ambulance and associated ground transportation services across Ontario.
We look forward to this helipad entering into service! Patients will benefit from this added resource at Bluewater Health. https://t.co/g5yBMM2dJE
