Temiskaming Shores Mayor Carman Kidd, who is chair of the Earlton-Timiskaming Regional Airport advisory board, said that the reduction in the aviation fuel tax will mean “every airport in the North will reduce their fuel prices by the savings in the taxes, so it will make us more competitive with other small airports in the south that pay slightly less for their fuel.” The provincial government made the announcement Wednesday, November 13, and said the reduction in the aviation fuel rate in Northern Ontario will help to lower the cost of living for people in the region. NOMINATIONS While that saving cannot be passed on to passengers in Earlton, because the airport does not have air service, it should help to reduce passenger fl ight tickets for passengers in Timmins, Sudbury, WANTED! and North Bay, said Kidd. “Every little bit helps, and makes it cheaper for our airport users,” Do you know someone between the ages of he commented by email in response to a question. 6-17 who is making a difference within their community?
