22nd Anniversary of MedEvac Flight C-GPUN

Dear Members:

Today marks the twenty-second (22) anniversary of the tragic loss of MedEvac Flight C-GPUN.  

Paramedics Andreas Goedicke, 40 and Wendy Thompson, 33, perished when the airevac Learjet they were on went down over the ocean in the early morning hours near Masset, BC. The flight team was en route to transport a pregnant woman to Prince Rupert. Three others also perished – Dr. Jeffrey Dolph, and pilots Daniel Jorgensen and Geir Zinke.

Please take a moment to remember Andy, Wendy and the eight other members who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Sincerely,

The Provincial Executive Committee
