Ontario shared emergency care improvements at this year’s Association of Municipalities of Ontario Conference:

✅ more than $1 billion invested in the annual Land Ambulance Services Grant (9% more funding than 2025)

✅ over $33 million invested in the Dedicated Offload Nurses Program so that more nurses and other health-care professionals can be hired to transfer ambulance patients to hospital care in a timely manner

These investments mean paramedics can return to communities faster and families can have better access to emergency and ambulance services.

Proud to recognize OAPC member Ornge on World Helicopter Day. Their 12 AW139 helicopters provide 24/7 air ambulance service, helping bring care closer, faster.

Yesterday, we celebrated the incredible impact of helicopters and recognize the skilled professionals who design, fly, and maintain these aircraft! 🚁

At Ornge, our fleet of 12 Leonardo AW-139 helicopters operate 24/7 to overcome time and distance when it matters most.

With a range of 1,187 km and a max cruise speed of 306 km/h, these state-of-the-art aircraft along with our skilled pilots deliver care in a safe, timely, and patient-centred manner to all patients across Ontario. In 2025/26, Ornge's Rotor Wing Aircraft performed over 4,000 Total Patient Transport Legs.
