Nipawin mayor praises heliport

The heliport’s location at the hospital is also incredibly important. Zacharias said whether patients are being transported to – or from – the Nipawin Hospital; the patients are being put into the hands of the people that can help them the most. 

Zacharias said the Nipawin heliport benefits much more than just the immediate Nipawin area.  

“It’s the entire northeast region that’s able to utilize [the heliport].” 

The idea for a heliport in Nipawin stemmed from the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash south of Nipawin in 2018. Shortly after, the TLDPC was formed and spearheaded the fundraising effort for the heliport.  

“Through a lot of collaboration with all of our surrounding partners, they were able to come together and put together this project for the northeast,” said Zacharias. 

“We have a heliport, it is a great asset to the area, but we always hope that you never have to use it.”
