The Bell 206B helicopter, registration C-FPHB, was on the first of several trips into a site 13 NM SE of Pikangikum, Ontario to pick up some trappers. The area was completely wooded except for the shore area which had an incline and was fairly soft. A helicopter landing pad had been constructed out of logs. While settling onto the pad, it was noticed that the pad shifted so the pilot elected to lift off again. While the helicopter was starting to lift off, part of the pad underneath the right skid collapsed, and the helicopter rolled onto its right side. The main rotor made contact with the water/shore and the helicopter came to rest in several feet of water, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft. There were no injuries.
