This brand new Ontario Provincial Police stopped to refuel at the Canadian Helicopters heliport (CSH6) at Les Cèdres airport, Quebec while flying patrols along the St Lawrence River that forms the border between eastern Ontario and northern New York State. The aircraft was registered to the OPP three weeks earlier on May 10 following completion at the Eurocopter Canada Ltd. facility in Fort Erie, Ontario. The EC135 replaced a AS355F Twin Star carrying the same registration.
