A Jazz Embraer ERJ-175 on behalf of Air Canada, registration C-FEKH performing flight
AC-8997 from New York La Guardia,NY (USA) to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 61 people on board, was enroute at FL300 about 190nm eastsoutheast of Toronto when the crew received a "BLEED 1 FAIL" indication. As the aircraft had already been dispatched with BLEED 2 inoperative, the crew initiated a descent and started the APU. Descending through FL200 the crew declared PAN PAN and initiated an emergency descent as the cabin altitude climbed through 10,000 feet. The aircraft levelled off at 10,000 feet and requested priority as the cabin was getting cold due to lack of heating. The aircraft landed safely on Toronto's runway 24L about 30 minutes after the onset of trouble.
