Prince George, BC – The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) has partnered with Yellowhead Helicopters to get vital vaccine doses to remote communities under difficult conditions to protect these communities from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Yellowhead pilots have safely delivered vaccines throughout northern BC to communities including Fort Nelson, Takla, and Gitanmaax during the first dose clinics and are standing by again as second dose clinics are already underway in some communities.
“Yellowhead Helicopters has been a strong and reliable partner in the safe and timely delivery of vaccines to our communities. They show with their actions that they care,” said Julie Morrison, Acting Executive Director of the First Nations Health Authority’s Northern Region.
“We think the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve is paramount,” said Jacob Forman, CEO. “And the quicker we can get the vaccines out, the quicker we can return to normal, whatever that looks like.”
To show its belief in our communities, Yellowhead has joined with the FNHA, to help deliver the vaccine throughout the north at a reduced tariff rate.
Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd, (Est. 1975), operates from its main base at Prince George, BC, as well as other bases throughout BC and Alberta. It services the Forestry, Mining, Oil and Gas (Exploration and Servicing) industries, as well as providing Wildlife Surveys, Tourism Flights, Medivac Flights, and Disaster Relief Flights.

Job opportunities for low-time pilots used to be sparse. Typically, their first job would be pushing a broom around the hangar, fuel jockey, working in dispatch learning the ropes with the occasional flying project to build their skills. Now with a growing labour shortage in the industry, helicopter companies and their clients are having to rethink how to operate with fewer higher skilled pilots.
CAMP Systems International & YHL signed an agreement on Aircraft Health Management software for the YHL fleet of helicopters.
