“When will this government start treating northern remote airports as critical infrastructure?”

THUNDER BAY — Remote First Nations deserve better airports, says Bobby Narcisse.

As a deputy grand chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation, the Aroland First Nation member has travelled to communities across Ontario’s Far North and seen the short gravel runways and basic terminal buildings for himself.

So has Kiiwetinoong MPP Sol Mamakwa, the province’s only First Nations legislator, and they both say Premier Doug Ford’s cabinet should see it for themselves and do something.
