Hundreds of people paraded in the streets of Quebec on Thursday morning to pay tribute to the four victims of the crushing of an Airmedic helicopter on June 20 in an outfit in the North Shore.
The procession brings together families and colleagues of the three members of the crew who died in this tragedy, that is Sébastien de Lutio, pilot, Olivier Blouin, flight paramedical, and Sébastien Groulx, flight nurse. The three men had been deployed to rescue the American patient Claire Tripp. All perished in crushing, except one of the crew members.
Paramedical staff, police, and members of the armed forces notably took part in the convoy to honor the memory of these Exceptional colleagues, friends and men

They were proud of their profession, they exercised it with passion, with courage and with a deep sense of duty
said the vice-president of strategic initiatives and Airmedic business development, Louis-Philippe Loiselle Fortier.
Their memory will live in each flight, and in each mission that our teams will do in the future. […] They will remain forever heroes.
Some 500 people then converged on the Videotron Center, where a ceremony was held in memory of the three members of the crew and the American patient who lost her life in this tragedy.
The tribute to the victims took place in two stages on Thursday, with a procession and a ceremony in the Videotron center.
