Government of Canada investing in safety at Michel-Pouliot Gaspe Airport

The Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, announced a $3,930,528 Government of Canada investment for the rehabilitation of airside pavement at the Michel-Pouliot Gaspe Airport.

GASPE, QC – Canadians, tourists and businesses benefit from safe and well-maintained airports. From visiting friends and family, to traveling to medical appointments, or getting goods to market, we rely on our local airports to support and sustain vibrant communities. These airports also provide essential air services including community resupply, air ambulance, search and rescue and forest fire response.

The Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, announced a $3,930,528 Government of Canada investment for the rehabilitation of airside pavement at the Michel-Pouliot Gaspe Airport. A fully rebuilt and up-to-date runway, free of cracks and with proper drainage, is key in ensuring safe usage by aircraft, passengers, and crews, and for protecting costly airport safety assets such as snow clearing equipment and aircraft rescue firefighting vehicles.

The funding comes from Transport Canada's Airports Capital Assistance Program (ACAP).
