Default Brantford Airport Closure Questioned

All sources, the air shows, movies being shot there, use by patients &
family at the schools.



I haven't actually read it--I searched briefly for it online but
couldn't find it. It may be somewhere in the federal archives if
they're available. However, there is information on the Brantford
Airport web site:

http://www.brantfordairport.ca/featu...tory_facts.php

...now it has that clause about land reverting back to the Crown.
However, I talked to someone a couple days ago who has been in on the
aviation scene for decades, and he said he remembers seeing the
agreement with his own eyes at some point, and that it stated the City
had to run the airport "in perpetuity." I've recently e-mailed the
Airport web site author about their source but I haven't heard back
yet. I'd like to see this thing for myself, for sure.


You need to. Then if it is in perpetuity get the phone and write letters to
the federal government that the city is trying to break the agreement.
