Funding for Hudson Bay airport

The Hudson Bay Airport is receiving an investment of $2.6 million dollars for runway, taxiway and improvements.

The announcement was made by the provincial government Wednesday, which said the upgrades would allow the provincial wildfire program to better utilize the Hudson Bay Tanker base as a staging area for its fleet of airplanes.

The project includes preparing and repaving of the main 1,524-metre long by 30-metre wide runway, three taxiways and two aprons.

According to the government, the runway improvements will allow the airport to accommodate larger aircraft the province uses to fight forest fires including the Convair 580A.

The project is expected to be finished by mid-September, depending on the weather.
