The Government of Canada has announced that three airports in Quebec will receive over $3.4 million funding for safety-related upgrades, projects, and equipment investments.
Through Transport Canada’s Airports Capital Assistance Programme, three airports in Quebec will receive over $3.4 million for safety-related projects and equipment that will help maintain safe airport operations for passengers, crews, and airport workers. The airports receiving funding are:
- La Grande Rivière Airport (YGL)
$476,000 to purchase a medium-sized snow blower and a runway surface friction tester
- Mont-Joli Airport (YYY)
$451,000 to purchase a grader, a runway condition reporting system, and a runway surface friction tester
- St-Hubert Airport (YHU)
$2.5 million to rehabilitate the airport’s field electrical centre and purchase a wet/dry combination material spreader.
This funding is in addition to the more than $24.8 million announced under the programme in May 2021 to support safety-related projects at the Gaspé, La Grande Rivière, Mont-Joli, and St. Hubert airports.
