City hoping province will help with airport upgrades
North Battleford City Hall hopes to continue with plans to make runway upgrades at the Cameron McIntosh Airport, and is hoping the province will kick in some cash to do so.
Mayor Ryan Bater said the city is waiting for the provincial budget to be released April 10 to find out if the province will be extending the Community Airport Partnership (CAP) program again this year to provide partial funding for the 2018 project.
“If they do, we intend to use it for the continued rehabilitation of the runway at the Cameron McIntosh Airport,” said Bater.
Council already gave its approval for the city to apply for the grant application through the province for the pavement rehabilitation for the runway.
