BURLINGTON, ON
The federal government has proposed changes that will improve the efficiency and transparency of the construction and operations of aerodromes in Canada.
The proposed changes to the Canadian Aviation Regulations would require proponents to consult with stakeholders before developing an aerodrome or significantly changing an existing one.
Stakeholders could include local citizens, municipalities, local aerodrome operators, air navigation service providers, and the Minister of Transport.
Now what ? is the question Vince Rossi, president of the Burlington Air Park is asking himself.
The Government of Canada is working in partnership with industry and community stakeholders to support safe and responsible aerodrome development.
Canadians have 60 days to comment on the proposed changes.
The final regulations are expected to be published in Canada Gazette, Part II, in 2016.
Appleby Line resident Barbara Sheldon is expected to have already started writing her comments and just might invite Burlington Airpark president Vince Rossi over for a conversation about changes he made to the air park and the impact those changes have had on the value of her property.
The prospects for the Air Park are not looking all that good at this point in time.
