Edmonton Municipal Airport

Do you direct City Council to repeal "The Edmonton Municipal Airport referendum bylaw" (No. 10,205)? That bylaw requires the City to operate the Municipal Airport and promote that airport's air passenger service.

A "YES" vote means that the City will promote MOVING scheduled air passenger service to the Edmonton International Airport.

A "NO" vote means that the City will promote MAINTAINING scheduled air passenger service at the Edmonton Municipal Airport.

Under both options the City will continue to own and offer general air services (e.g. private planes, small charters, air ambulance) at the Municipal Airport.
