How can the AAC say they don't want their tax dollars going towards the future operation of a tower at Parkland and yet they don't have any qualms about the Enoch using other people's tax dollars to finance a court case against PADC. Bunch of hypocrites. Indians using Canadian taxpayer dollars to t...

They directed me to the homepage of their website which defines the AAC as: "a community standing united against the development of an aerodrome in our peaceful rural environment" and defines membership as: "as members, we all share a common goal - to STOP the development of an airstrip in rural Sp...

To confirm Aunty The Anti Aerodrome Committee meetings are open to ANY resident of the area regardless of their position pro or con on the Parkland Airport. Yes or No? The reason I want to be very clear on this is several non aviation friends that are residents tell me they have been told they may ...

Long as you're on line Aunty... I have had a number of people of the area in question (mostly non aviation types) tell me the AAC meetings are closed to only those who oppose the Parkland Airport. Is that true? Curiosity Tom, I assume you meant "open to only those who oppose Parkland Airport". My u...

That are not operating out of their temporary hanger? not yet, the proposed 2 week shutdown has become a 6 week plan with more possible pushbacks. I wouldn't think that has anything to do with the upcoming court appearances in January or Enoch's polite refusal to negotiate compensation. Probably ju...

To respond to the statement that I would be "all for it"... truth be told, I AM all for progress. I am all for development. This being said, I am equally all for responsibility, respect for others who share this planet, and ensuring that future generations (yours and mine) all have a planet to live ...

Potatoes are referenced in the chart. http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp1247-part3-part3-3-170.htm Regarding "the mayors implication that the county is not interested in supporting the aerodrome. Does that mean the county will be Turning those tax dollars directly over to the fede...

Does anyone know where Mayor Shagec is getting his facts? I think I must be missing something, according to transport Canada TP1247 part 3.3 agricultural and bird related concerns seem to be within 3.2 km not 8.0 km. and I don't see any mention of potatoes? Wouldn't that reduce his number of concer...

For your interest,

Two new letters from Parkland County Administration to Minister Lisa Raitt are available for reading at http://www.antiaerodromecoop.com/progress-updates.html

Thank you again for the response Lets discuss the term "aviation enthusiasts" for a moment. To begin with and for your information: You may not realize it but using the term in the context you are is quite derogatory to those that own primary businesses in aviation and/or aviation is their sole sour...

Tom H, Thank you for your response. I think we can both agree that this is a highly controversial and emotionally charged topic with two very different sides/views. I am working very hard to be diplomatic here, but to be honest, sometimes it feels a bit like those who are aviation enthusiasts just d...

Yes, I'll plead ignornace. I don't recall seeing this thread in February. I'm not from the area so it may have been a big issue locally. I was just going by reports in the media that stated that neighbours felt blindsided. I retract my above comments about there not being enough notification and "s...

EDITED - You have been warned, read the forum guidelines and posting etiquette before resuming. This is a first and final warning. To Hipster: I am truly sorry that the City of Edmonton treated you so badly, I felt for all of those being displaced as I watched it unfold in the media. This being sai...

With all due respect, From what has come out of the developers' mouths at the meeting last week (which I attended, so I can say this fully informed)... a 2600 ft runway is only in their initial plans. They are seeking to purchase further land around the site to extend the runway to accommodate for l...
