Ross Schmidt, Base Manager and pilot for Provincial Helicopters is happy with his move to Lloydminster. The company was building in Meadow Lake before the move, but ran into many difficulties with the cold temperatures there. Lloydminster is better suited for them, situated on the border provides more opportunities as well as being a better location for fires reports Pipeline News.

The company varies in their work, especially with the current economic impact on the aviation sector. They work from seismic work to zero impact drilling, fire-fighting to tree planting. Their fleet consists of 2 Long Rangers, 2 Jet Ranger 206s and a Bell 205.
