A discussion will also be held on off-airport land use compatibility, including the roles of Transport Canada and municipal governments, the impacts of aircraft operations, and strategies for success.This will be our last indoor session of the winter season. Rather than a social afterwards, the ground-floor bar will be open for a pre-social at 4:30. Grab a drink as you wish and make your way to the Military Engineer Room on the 3rd floor for 5pm, when the formal presentation/discussion will begin. The Mess closes at 6pm sharp so we'll have to conclude by then.
