PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Big Lakes County Council www.biglakescounty.ca Big Lakes County offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, industrial growth, and strong community spirit. With opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, and technology, businesses thrive alongside outdoor adventures and a welcoming community. It’s a place to build careers, enjoy nature, and be part of something special! Additionally, its high community engagement has attracted the attention of a local flying club that is considering High Prairie for a potential operational stop. “Alberta Air Tours, they’re talking about bringing 30 to 40 aircraft just to stop by for lunch… this would be just one stop out of only three places that they’re going to go in Alberta, which is awesome to see,” says Chief Administrative Officer David Reynolds. Looking ahead, the airport is planning further expansions to address the growing demand for space and services. These include expanding the apron to accommodate more aircraft and potentially extending the runway further to support larger planes and additional emergency services. The focus on infrastructure development is aimed at enhancing the airport’s capacity to serve both local and regional needs effectively. High Prairie Regional Airport embodies the spirit of community collaboration and progressive development. Through its ongoing investments in infrastructure, technology, and community engagement, the airport continues to serve as a vital hub for both emergency services and recreational aviation. Its commitment to maintaining high standards of service and safety, combined with its strategic plans for future growth, ensures that the airport will remain a cornerstone of the region’s aviation landscape for years to come. 72 AVIATION VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 04, ISSUE 03
