In a news release, Canada’s Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said “Like all good neighbours, Canada and the United States are there for each other in times of crisis.”
The Hercules aircraft is said to be well-suited to disaster relief operations and humanitarian missions. It flew from 8 Wing Trenton in the province of Ontario which also delivers supplies, troops and equipment to relief efforts around the world and supplies Canadian Forces Station Alert in Canada’s high Arctic.
