Red Lake Airport Gets Funding

Safety improvements at the Red Lake Airport.

Kenora MP Greg Rickford has announced 250-thousand dollars in funding for the purchase of a new snowplow truck.

The money is also being used for a replacement cable for the omnidirectional approach lights.

Rickford says the investment is the finishing touches to the Airport after a new permieter fence and parking lot were funded last year.

Mayor Phil Vinet says they are greatful for the on-going support.
