In the late 1980s, a Sikorosky S61N C-FDOH was based on the BC West Coast while a single DC-3 C-FDTH was Ottawa based with a primary role in operating ice patrols along the St. Lawrence river seaway and local government transport duties, but was replaced with a Department of Transport Dash-7 circa 1989.
