Notice of low-level flying over Squamish by Fortis

staff report
April 22, 2024 7:00am

Talon Helicopters with LaSen Inc. is planning to perform low-level flyovers for FortisBC during daylight hours between April 26 and June 15, 2024, as authorized by Transport Canada.

The District of Squamish, Garibaldi Highlands, Brackendale, and the Resort Municipality of Whistler will be inspected.

This work is part of FortisBC’s annual inspection of its high-pressure transmission natural gas lines and is an important part of FortisBC’s integrity management program. The low-flying helicopter inspects the pipelines using LaSen’s aerial LiDAR detection technology.

The company said the technology detects any issues to ensure FortisBC’s system continues to operate safely and reliably and to plan maintenance activities accordingly.

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is one of 23 regional districts in BC that Telon will pass through during this time. Flight time over a single area will be minimal. There will be no ground activity related to flights. The flight schedule may vary depending on weather conditions and wildfires.

For more information on this inspection work, call 1-888-224-2710 or visit fortisbc.com/communityupgrades or Talon Helicopters at 604-214-3585
