Northern Ontario & Ring of Fire Projects
Emergency medical transport for the roads, mines and power lines opening up northern Ontario.
Northern Ontario is entering a decade of remote construction. Construction on the Webequie Supply Road began in June 2026, the Marten Falls Community Access Road follows, and the Northern Road Link is planned from 2028, alongside new mines and transmission lines.
Much of this work is reached by winter road, fly-in camp or long gravel haul, hours from a hospital. A Code Three Mobile Treatment Centre gives each site certified patient transport and a place to treat, on a pickup the crew already drives.
The northern Ontario challenge
- Sites reached by winter road, gravel haul or air, with long evacuation times
- Extreme cold and short winter construction windows
- Work spread across camps, borrow pits, bridges and road segments
- Partnerships with First Nations communities that will keep using the equipment after construction
How the Code Three MTC helps
- Moves the patient from the work face to the camp clinic, airstrip or highway rendezvous
- Fits standard full-size pickups, so it can be moved between trucks and sites
- Dual stretcher capability and 72" of headroom
- CMVSS certified Emergency Transport Vehicle, CSA certified, built for -40°C
- A practical community emergency vehicle once construction wraps up
Ontario rules your plan answers to
Regulation 1101 (first aid) requires first aid stations, trained workers and arranged transport for injured workers.
For mines, Regulation 854 requires emergency plans, and Ontario's surface mine planning guidance lists emergency transport for isolated operations as part of the plan.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deliver to northern Ontario?
Yes. Delivery to Ontario typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, and we support deployments across Canada.
Is an MTC useful on fly-in sites?
Yes. On fly-in or winter-road sites, the MTC covers the ground leg: from the injury site to the camp clinic, airstrip or a meeting point with EMS.
Can a community keep using the unit after the project?
Yes. The MTC slides into a standard community pickup, which makes it a cost-effective emergency vehicle for remote communities long after construction ends.
