Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford announced 775 thousand dollars to install a fence to keep wildlife out of the airport compound.
Rickford says the funding comes out of the federal/provincial infrastructure program.
Airport manager Mike Zroback says they plan to install a 12 foot high fence around the airport to keep deer out.
He says there have been a number of near misses in recent years between aircraft
landing and taking off and wandering wildlife.
