The Federal Government has announced an investment of $3,686,200 for the Gillam Airport.

Marc Garneau, the Minister of Transportation, said that the government recognizes that local airports are major contributors to the economic growth and social well-being of smaller communities, and that the investment will improve access to safe, efficient and accessible air transportation options.

The money will go towards aggregate and granular base material, which will allow for a compact lift, as well as taxiway and runway resurfacing.

The Gillam Airport has received to date over $7.6M from the Airports Capital Assistance Program.
