Is it probable that your department or agency may be required to exercise a power or perform a duty or function related to the Project to enable it to proceed? If yes, specify the Act of Parliament and that power, duty or function . A Fisheries Act paragraph 35(2)(b) Authorization will be required if the project is likely to cause the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction to fish habitat and/or a Fisheries Act paragraph 34.4(2)(b) Authorization if the project is likely to result in the death of fish. Based on the information provided, it is our understanding that there will be no in-water works related to this project. As such, it is not likely that Fisheries and Oceans Canada may be required to exercise a power or perform a duty of function to allow this project to proceed. Should works be proposed that may impact fish and fish habitat, we recommend that the proponent submit a Request for Review for DFO which outlines the specific impacts of the project on fish and fish habitat for review under the Fisheries Act. DFO also reviews projects for effects to listed aquatic species at risk, any part of their critical habitat or the residences of their individuals in a manner which is prohibited under sections 32, ...

De Havilland Field Project Summary of Issues Comments Dzinisi guja, The Tsuut’ina Nation is submitting comments regarding the De Havilland Field Project, this project is within our traditional territory and we have some concerns as there may be potential and cumulative impacts to our Treaty and Inherent Rights. There is a tendency to limit Indigenous engagement to the basics; notifications, letters, emails and face-to- face meetings. Engagement has to be more tangible and ongoing, establishing an Indigenous Monitoring Advisory Committee for this project is an option, we see this as a relationship built on communication, trust, mutual economic benefits, employment benefits and meaningful involvement for Indigenous Peoples. We have an issue with the statement that social effects to Indigenous communities is not expected as the project will not stimulate population growth nor will they require out-of-area workers. That is not correct, there will be an influx of specialized workforce, both construction and aviation. There is a concern that abuse towards vulnerable individuals may occur and what is the safety and security plan to address it and prevent it. Another concern is bias towards the Indigenous Peoples, there is documented incidents of bias within the town of Strathmore already, will there be any cultural sensitivity training be given ...

  • A key policy in the Wheatland County Municipal Development Plan (pg 27) is "Preserving Our Heritage." In it you will find statements like -the agriculture is the backbone of the County, how land is a finite resource, it is a priority of the County to protect farmland and rural lifestyles and the protection of land for agriculture practices are a major priority. Why is the County allowing the land use bylaw to be amended taking away over 1500 acres of incredibly fertile cropland which produces some of the best yields in the county?  Food security is a daily story in the news. Agriculture land in Alberta is dercreasing at a rapid rate yearly due to desertification, urban sprawl and commercial/industrail developments. Increased competion for farmland causes challenges in the Ag sector which leads to higher food prices. It also has leadsto the decline of family farms when a numbered company walks in and pays almost twice the price of the going rate raising prices in the area.  This land contains a permanent wetland home to frogs, deer, moose, red fox, ducks, geese, storks, cranes, herons, bald eagles, hawks, golden eagles and 4 types of owl and most importantly the burrowing owl. We are operating a 5th generation farm adjacent to the project and must unequivocally dispute this development unfortunately. We are in favor of providing employment opportunities and economic growth for the community, however, in our opinion there must be a more suitable location in the 4505 square kms in this county that would align with the County's MDP.  There is no question De Havilland is a leader in innovation and aviation and we are not disputing the incredible opportunity for ...

What a great opportunity for the county and economics to Langdon, Cheatle, Strathmore and all of Wheatland county.  This will not only create hundreds of jobs but stimulate the economy of region with increase business to communities. There will many off shoot business  opportunities created   there the production of and surviving of aircraft..   The county should  welcome the increase in the corporate tax basis provided here.    It will provide hundreds of jobs for trades people and opportunities for our young citizens to learn and develope  trades  with made in Canada . This is a great opportunity to diversify and build the Canadian aviation industry.   This is production and maintenance portion of DeHavilland not an international airport like ycc. Sure there will be planes landing and taking off but not every minute of the day. Transportation Canada will regulate the operational hours of flights. Planes coming in and out are for maintenance only not commercial flights.   Production of the Beaver, dash-8. And water bombers to be for the world is a great opportunity for Canada and Alberta. It's obviously the oil and gas industry is under decline and attack ,so this gives us an opportunity to develope in another area .   Some are concerned about increased traffic .

  • As a resident of Strathmore, I fully support this project in its entirety.  The benefit to our local economy will be substantial and allow us to diversify our economic base, creating a stable source of employment that complements the agricultural sector.  This plant will not only provide employment for the region's residents but also attract investments, leading to improved infrastructure, better services, and enhanced quality of life for everyone.  It will offer our youth an opportunity to build a future here.  By embracing this change, we can ensure a sustainable and prosperous future for Wheatland county and its residents.

  • Being a resident of Wheatland County for greater than 50 years, projects such as this should be a welcome to our area.  The employment opportunities and the peripheral value-added impact will be a welcome addition to the area.  Tax base increase, added employment opportunities outside of the city of Calgary, increase value in real estate, and overall health of the communities will be enjoyed by the residents and visitors.

  • Good Afternoon, I am writing in support of the DeHavilland project west of Strathmore as this project is important to the growth of the rural areas.  Those who say that the land and animals will be affected should remember the fact that the land was broken probably 100 years ago that affected the environment. The affect of humans from the beginning of our species has changed the world we live on.  The farmland that will be used is no different than the land that is used to build communities around large cities. What is important to me is the fact that in this province only about 14% of the Alberta population lives in rural communities.  As farm land is consolidated into larger farms and modern equipment greatly reduces the amount of labour required on farms, rural areas have depopulated for lack of opportunities.  Our rural communities are dying as our young people move to larger places for jobs and education.  Opportunities to bring projects like this to smaller communities provide an opportunity for smaller communities to grow, by labour living in smaller communities like Cheadle, like Carseland, like Namaka, Strathmore (though not a small community anymore) and throughout the county. It also means new businesses that will support those workers by providing goods and services. It also brings technological proficient people into our area who may one day start their own business and create new technologies. It ensure that our existing infrastructure and schools have more potential for growth.   Finally the DeHavilland name is Canada at its best, when we actually designed and built our own aircraft, that help Canada grow and develop by flying supplies to Canad's remotest ...

  • I have several concerns regarding this project. Mainly the environmental impact. This air field will effectively destroy an enormous area of agricultural land in the midst of a global food crisis. This land has been and currently is farmed by local farmers and provides hundreds of thousands of bushells of grain to not only feed canadians but contribute to the economy of this country. Our province relies on agriculture and farmers to keep things moving. Eliminating farmland in favor of airplanes that polute the air feels like a step in the wrong direction.  In addition to the loss of farmland this land is a home to many animals including deer, moose, burrowing owls and thousands of geese and ducks who stop to feed during migration and create their homes here in the summer months.  This airfield is a mistake. It will be used to pad the pockets of one of the richest families in canada while ruining a natural resource used by local farmers. Local interests must come before corporate interests.

  • Good morning, I am writing to submit my comment in regards ro DeHavilland Field which is projected to be developed 8kms SW of my home.    When I was first notified of the development my concern was in regards to noise. However after some conversations with people in the industry and my surrounding neighbours I have come to the conclusion that a lot of good will derive from this project. I look forward to the creation of high paying jobs particularly in the trades and maintenance industry in which I am currently employed. I think it will increase property values of the surrounding areas and will allow growth for Wheatland County and the town of Strathmore.    The projected S.A.I.T campus is a huge highlight for us as it could potentially allow our children to attend the programs close to home.    To conclude I am in favour of this development and look forward to having it in our neighborhood.    Katie Wilson  243043 RR 263 Wheatland County, AB

  • As a resident of the Town of Strathmore I feel this area needs more opportunities like this, that will create good paying skilled jobs, as well as the positive impact it will have on the economy from a project of this magnitude. I can’t wait for this to be done!

  • I believe that as long as the usual workplace and environmental regulations are followed, and they will be, this will be a great project for local communities. I have confidence that the fuel storage and waste management will be done correctly and safely.  Let's get this done.
