While many people in northern Simcoe County have been regularly hearing a helicopter travelling over their heads the past few days, it's nothing to be concerned about, according to authorities.
Some area residents have speculated that, perhaps, a sledder had fallen through Georgian Bay ice and the Canadian Coast Guard helicopter was performing a search-and-rescue operation, as it seemed to regularly cover the Giant's Tomb and Sawlog Bay area after departing from Huronia Regional Airport.
But Southern Georgian Bay OPP Const. David Hobson said the Coast Guard is simply conducting "navigational asset maintenance."
