Canadian Forces CH-113A Labrador, 11307, parked at the Canadian Coast Guard heliport at Kitsilano Beach, Vancouver. This aircraft started life as the first Canadian Army CH-113 Voyageur and became a SAR helicopter when the Canadian Forces acquired eight CH-147 Chinooks in the mid-1970s. All the CH-113 Labradors and Voyageurs went through an upgrade program at Boeing Canada Ltd. of Arnprior, Ontario to expand their SAR capability and increase fleet commonality. The last Labrador was retired in 2004 with the delivery of new AgustaWestland (Leonardo) CH-149 Cormorant SAR helicopters.

This MBB Bo 105 was delivered to the Canadian Coast Guard in October 1985 after completion at the new MBB Helicopter Canada Ltd. factory in Fort Erie, Ontario. It's seen here about to land on the Coast Guard heliport at Kitsilano Beach in downtown Vancouver. In 1985-1986, the Bo 105 replaced the Coast Guard's three long-serving single-engine Alouette III helicopters in British Columbia. The Coast Guard retired this aircraft in June 2018 when it took delivery of a new fleet of Bell 429s.

Canadian Forces CH-113 Labrador, 11307, from 442 Squadron is seen here parked on the Canadian Coast Guard Heliport at Kitsilano Beach as viewed looking west from the Burrard Street Bridge in downtown Vancouver. The heliport used to host frequent helicopter visits from the Canadian Coast Guard base and the Air Force until the wooden pile pier was destroyed in a fire and the heliport never rebuilt. Visiting Coast Guard and RCAF flights now utilize the Vancouver Harbour Heliport or a military heliport at HMCS Discovery, a naval base in the harbour on an island accessible from Stanley Park.

In 1986, the Japanese Maritime Safety Agency patrol boat Settsu sailed to Canada to attend Expo 86 in Vancouver, BC. While in Vancouver, the ship based Bell 212, JA9575, participated in a helicopter flypast of the Expo 86 site during Search & Rescue week. It's seen landing at the Canadian Coast Guard heliport at Kitsilano Beach. The heliport was later destroyed in a fire. This 212 was exported to Canada in 2015 and converted by Eagle Copters to a Eagle Single with the P&WC TwinPac replaced by a single Honeywell T5317A. It was flown by Yellowhead Helicopters as C-GJYH and is now N377PA.
