Airport Awards Runway Refurbishment
The Red Deer Regional Airport is pleased to announce that they are ready to begin the refurbishment of their secondary runway (#12/30) at the beginning of June. The tender has been awarded to locally owned and operated Border Paving, who are set so support nearly 50 jobs with the project, keeping funds within Central Alberta, creating local jobs and supporting the businesses who call YQF home are all important factors to consider when planning any projects at the Red Deer Regional Airport.
“Runway 12/30 is a vital part of our existing infrastructure and currently supports more than 12,000 takeoffs and landings annually.” says Red Deer Regional Airport’s CEO Graham Ingham. This project, like all other airport projects is being completed per the airport’s 10-year capital plan, which is updated annually. The runway refurbishment project comes with a 1.8 million dollar price tag and will take approximately 8 weeks to complete. The project will be staged to alleviate to the greatest extent possible any impact on our local and transient businesses.
The Red Deer Regional Airport continues to see growth and success as they plan to the future. As an affordable alternative to Calgary and Edmonton, YQF remains a cost-effective solution to many aviation and aviation-related businesses looking to gain that strategic business advantage. “With key partnership agreements in place with the likes of the Rice Group, EFC Developments and Tucana Aviation, the future of the airport has never looked so bright and it’s only a matter of when, not if, the airport will enter its next phase of rapid and sustained growth.” says the Airport’s Director, Business Development, Communications and Marketing Nicole Holinarty.

Outdoor social gatherings, which were previously banned, will be allowed in groups of up to 10 people.
And the limit of people attending funerals is increasing to 20, although receptions are still prohibited.
The changes are to take effect Monday.

Easing of restrictions for outdoor gatherings, personal services and funeral attendance will take effect Jan. 18.
While indoor gatherings remain prohibited, up to 10 people will be allowed at outdoor social gatherings. Personal and wellness services will be allowed to open by appointment only. Funeral ceremony attendance will be increased to 20 people, with mandatory masking and two metre physical distancing. Funeral receptions are still not allowed.
All Albertans, businesses, organizations and service providers must continue to follow all other existing health measures.
“This limited easing of restrictions is possible thanks to the efforts of Albertans over the past few weeks. But, we need to be careful that we don’t reduce too early and risk the steady improvements we’ve made since November. We want to ensure the safety of Albertans, while balancing the uncertainty faced by Alberta businesses and service providers. We will be continually evaluating the public health data to make adjustments where possible.”
“Albertans have done a good job of staying the course and abiding by public health measures, but we are still seeing high hospitalizations and case numbers, and this continues to put a serious strain on our health-care system. How much further we can ease restrictions depends on our collective efforts over the coming days and weeks to limit the spread of the virus.”
“Although we’ve seen a decline in transmission, our health-care system is still at risk. We must remain diligent in our efforts to bring our numbers down even further. By easing some measures like outdoor gathering limits, we hope to support Albertans’ mental health, while still following other restrictions that are helping us reduce case numbers.”
Provincial and regional trends will continue to be monitored and assessed over the coming weeks to determine if further easing of restrictions may be considered.
Alberta’s government is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by protecting lives and livelihoods with precise measures to bend the curve, sustain small businesses and protect Alberta’s health-care system.
