News TheReview Wednesday, May 15,1991 — A37 1 North Saanich delays airport society North Saanich council delayed backing the Victoria Airport Plan- ning Society bid for local control of the Victoria Airport, pending a report from municipal staff. Sitting as committee of the whole April 22, council members heard a presentation on local air- port management from Victoria Airport Planning Society chair- man Don Hancock. Since 1987 Transport Canada has been trying to transfer airport management to local, non-profit societies, Hancock said. Early in April a local airport authority completed negotiations with Transport Canada to take over Vancouver International Airport, including the Abbotsford, Bound- ary Bay and Pitt Meadows air- ports. The take-over will be completed by next October, Hancock said. Society member Newell Morri- son of North Saanich suggested the local negotiations could fore- Stall any attempt by Vancouver’s local “group to also take over operation of the Victoria airport. The local airport authority would turn any profits back to maintaining the airport. Hancock reviewed the membership of the society, which includes aviation, legal, management, accounting and development professionals. A local airport authority would be more responsive to the needs of the local area, Hancock said. “QOttawa’s priorities may not always be Victoria’s priorities or North Saanich’s priorities or Sid- ney’s priorities,” he said. Local municipalities would have representation on the airport board, he said. He asked North Saanich to endorse the Victoria Airport Plan- ning Society’s initial negotiations with Transport Canada. The society would report back to North Saanich council before proceeding beyond the initial negotiations, Hancock promised. Existing agreements with the municipality regarding the airport, such as grants-in-lieu of taxes, would be honored if the society took over airport operation, Han- cock said. He predicted 80 per cent of the airports across Canada will be transferred to local management over the next five years.
