The helipad is fairly redundant anyway. I've piloted a helicopter before and it's impressive how little space you really need. While Ornge has AW139's and they're pretty big, their pilots are so skilled and could probably land it on top of CP24's condo assuming there weren't any poles or anything heh.

The thing with Ornge is: most people imagine them as first responders on scene to a major trauma incident (car crash, violent attempted murder etc). And yeah they do that and can land their helicopters down in the middle of a small urban park or on a highway no problem. But most of their work is actually mundane, run of the mill patient transportation from hospital to hospital (albeit it's still usually a situation where rapid transport is required). As such, taking off from the airport can be okay as long as EMS can transport the patient there in time. There are always other options too.

I'm not sure if the helipad will be permanently closed...I can't imagine them keeping it if there are going to be dozens of skyscrapers around it in the next 20 years. While it could still be used, it would be safer to just have a new one (on the roof of a building, maybe - or at the new hospital).
