Runway

Controversy

In September and October 2013 both Parkland County and neighbouring residents tried to stop the construction of the airport, but a judge ruled construction could continue as airports are under federal jurisdiction. In November 2013 the Enoch Cree Nation made a statement of claim that their rights were being harmed, and they were not consulted. On January 15, 2014, members of Enoch Cree Nation sought an injunction against operations at the airport.
