The company that operated an air ambulance that crashed on Quebec’s North Shore on June 20 is honouring the four victims who perished.
Airmedic says three of its crew members died as heroes, along with an American patient.
Four crew members and the patient were aboard the Airmedic helicopter when it went down in a remote area north of Natashquan, about 1,000 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
