CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, April 18, 1974 ~ Revelstoke City Council Says Airport for Sale Here's the perfect gift ‘for the’ person that has ‘every: thing—an alrportt Revelstoke city council has announced its airport: is ‘for sale, and the price is cheap. In fact, “if. you're. handy. at dickerrin', you might even get it for nothing. Airport committee chair- man Ald, John Renaud said the eity'{s finding it economically impossible ' to © continue’ the airport's) operation “and he’ wants the federal government's Ministry of Transport to take it over. Or, at worst, he wants the government to give the city a .~ subsidy for,its operation. Mr, Renaud ‘said perma- nent staff is needed:to manage the: airport’ and’ fuel, aircraft and coats are constantly rising. > }He asserted that aircraft is landing and taking off between 6 a.m. and § p.m. and increased labor costs are placing the city in a financial bind. <@ Mayor Sid Parker said {ue ~federal can't operate it financially and shut it down,” Gillespie said. Mr.’ Renaud said the federal government staffs the weather: station 100 yards away, “yet we have to operate the airport and:face a $10,000, Sabor bill. It is foolish. We are defeating our purpose.” On a suggestion that B.C. Hydro might be asked to take it over because of its Involvement with ‘the proposed Revelstoke Dam, Mr. Renaud said, “that’s what Hydro did ‘at Hudson Hope, but then they turned it. over to the community. We don't want that kind of gift.” Mayor Parker wondered if “the provincial government” might take it over because of its ‘involvement’ with ‘forest fire fighting in the ‘summer. “Let's wire all three,” said” Mr. Renaud, referring to the LEARNING shout tho envirniect is fond yicksi'a eisccatary Sebel hs Neuth government and B.t Cx Hydro, “Weill sell it to the Highest bidder,” quipped “Ald.” Louis Steegstra. ©+\... already RY ih he wth one health ‘and, city has’ been operate the airport as long as t has without ‘incurring’ a inipe “defi icit.
