The airports managed growth strategy first saw completion of a two-phase expansion plan between 2006 and 2011. Since then, passenger numbers have been on the climb, in fact they are 10 years ahead of passenger projections. By the beginning of 2016, just over 1,900,000 passengers travelled through YCD’s terminals since airport expansion started in 2006. Jorgen Poschmann, travelling with Air Canada home to Ontario, was randomly selected this morning from passengers travelling on flight AC 8260 and WS3228. He received a set of luggage and free parking at the Nanaimo Airport for a year, which will be used by his family he has been visiting on Gabriola Island. Each passenger today travelling on Air Canada flight 8260 and 8259, as well as WestJet flight 3228 and 3109 also received a Two Millionth Passenger Gift Pack. “We reached our millionth passenger just 3.5 short years ago," says Nanaimo Airport President and CEO Mike Hooper.

As it prepares for the milestone, the airport is launching a "You're One in 2 Million" campaign that offers prizes for travellers and other residents of the region. "We reached our millionth passenger just 3.5 short years ago," says Nanaimo Airport President and CEO Mike Hooper. "To grow by another one million travellers in such a short period of time shows that the people of Central Vancouver Island trust us to deliver convenience, affordability and safety while connecting them to the rest of the world. We're very proud to be the Central Island's airport of choice." Two million passengers is roughly equal to every person in the City of Nanaimo making 24 trips. In 2015 the airport served as a gateway for 312,000 people -- the sixth straight year in which it set a record for passenger traffic. The airport is ten years ahead of its own passenger projections. As part of the "You're One in 2 Million" campaign, the two millionth passenger will be designated among fliers taking a flight in or out of Nanaimo Airport in the next month.

  • Evacuation Operational Guide for First Nations and Local Authorities In
    EVACUATION OPERATIONAL GUIDE FOR FIRST NATIONS AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA A guide to managing evacuations during emergency response 2nd edition, 24 July, 2021 AMENDMENT RECORD Version # Release Date Description 1 2009 Original document with templates 2 July 4, 2019 Fully revised document with templates 3 July 24, 2021 Update to Natural Gas shut off recommendation 2 For advice and assistance with an evacuation, contact EMBC’s 24/7 Emergency Coordination Centre at 1-800-663-3456 and request to speak with the Regional Duty Manager for your region, or PREOC, if activated. EVACUATION QUICK-REFERENCE GUIDES The quick-reference guides on the following pages provide a simplified reference tool for Emergency Operation Centres (EOC) or designated community contacts (CC) to follow when issuing an Evacuation Alert, Order, or Rescind. For a glossary of all acronyms used in this guide, refer to Appendix A. A NOTE ABOUT FIRST NATIONS’ USE OF SOLE, EVAUCATION ALERT, ORDER, RESCIND TEMPLATES Based on engagement with various First Nations communities and agencies across BC, and with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), the Province now recommends declaring a State of Local Emergency (SOLE); and issuing Evacuation Alerts, Orders, and Rescinds for both First Nations communities on reserve as well as Local Authorities. It has been a common practice for First Nations to utilize Band Council Resolutions (BCR) for these purposes, and they are welcome to continue to do so, should they choose. While it is not a mandatory process for non-treaty First Nations to declare a SOLE; or to issue Evacuation Alerts, Orders and Rescinds as recommended within this guide, choosing to do so will allow for one simple process for all communities with the intention of reducing communication barriers .
