Airport plan on public runway

Kelowna International Airport will host an open house for the new airport master plan Sunday.

Kelowna International Airport will host an open house for the new airport master plan Sunday.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., residents will have the opportunity to review key aspects of the draft plan and provide feedback that will be considered in the development of the final plan.

“We know that decision-making processes are significantly improved on a local, regional and provincial scale when the public is included in solutions,” said Sam Samaddar, airport director.

“We’re looking for citizens to participate in discussions, identify issues and provide critical input on the plan.”

The new master plan will guide the development of YLW to 2045.

“As we’re unable to move the airport, we need to secure long-term sustainability to support the growth of YLW for future generations,” said Samaddar.

“This master plan will guide our decisions over the next 30 years, so we need to ensure we get the community’s input on key aspects of the plan.”

The open house will be located on the airport’s second floor mezzanine.

Free parking will be provided in the long-term lot, with validation.
