What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Local communities in northeast British Columbia are taking over operations at the Fort St. John regional airport, ending a private management agreement with Vantage Group in March 2027. The North Peace Airport Society, which owns the airport, plans to use the change to pursue new flights and keep more revenue in the region. Trevor Bolin, the newly elected mayor of Fort St. John, stated that this transition allows communities to gain control over local issues.
