MLA for Charlotte-The Isles Rick Doucet sending this warning for residents of Grand Manan.
In a statement today, Doucet says it is foggy on the Island, so try to avoid having a heart attack, an accident, or any other medical emergency, because the Moncton-based Air Ambulance won't be able to land and take patients to a hospital on the mainland.
Doucet says Island-based Atlantic Charters safely flew patients from Grand Manan -- even in the fog -- for 30 years, but their contract expired last month, and ANB has taken over from Moncton.
The MLA says in the past, Atlantic Charters could take off from the Island in foggy weather, but may have to wait for clear weather to return. But, Doucet adds, the most important flight is accomplished.
Doucet has been crusading for the return of Atlantic Charters, and has accused the government of playing "Russian Roulette" with the lives of people on Grand Manan Island.
