Circa 2017-2019. An exact official closure date is not publicly documented. However, the heliport was removed from the Canada Flight Supplement (the official Canadian aviation publication for pilots) and satellite imagery from this period shows the helipad markings being removed, indicating it was no longer in service.
Operational and logistical relocation. The Sûreté du Québec's air services, which are managed by the Service aérien gouvernemental (SAG), consolidated their Quebec City operations at the much larger and better-equipped Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB). This strategic move provided access to superior infrastructure, including 24/7 fueling, advanced maintenance facilities, hangar space for larger aircraft, and the ability to conduct operations under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), which was not possible from the rooftop heliport.
The site remains the active General Headquarters for the Sûreté du Québec. The physical concrete helipad structure still exists on the building's roof, but it has been officially decommissioned. The standard 'H' marking and other aviation indicators have been removed, and it is no longer a registered or operational heliport. It is now simply part of the building's roof.
The heliport was located on the roof of the Sûreté du Québec (Quebec's provincial police force) General Headquarters. It was a critical asset for law enforcement in the National Capital Region. When active, it handled police operations requiring rapid air response, such as surveillance missions, search and rescue support, emergency transport, and the deployment of the tactical intervention group (Groupe d'intervention tactique - GTI). Its location directly at the command center allowed for seamless integration of air and ground operations.
None. The relocation to Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) represents a significant and permanent operational upgrade. The former rooftop heliport is likely insufficient for the size, weight, and operational requirements of modern police helicopters and lacks the essential support infrastructure that a major airport provides. There are no known plans or prospects for its reopening as an aviation facility.
