    AVIATION OCCURRENCE REPORT FUEL CONTAMINATION FRONTIER HELICOPTERS A DIVISION OF CONAIR AVIATION LTD. BELL 206B JETRANGER III (HELICOPTER) C-GLGF WATSON LAKE AIRPORT, YUKON 1.8 nm S 26 JULY 1994 REPORT NUMBER A94W0124 MANDATE OF THE TSB The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act provides the legal framework governing the TSB's activities. Basically, the TSB has a mandate to advance safety in the marine, pipeline, rail, and aviation modes of transportation by: ! conducting independent investigations and, if necessary, public inquiries into transportation occurrences in order to make findings as to their causes and contributing factors; ! reporting publicly on its investigations and public inquiries and on the related findings; ! identifying safety deficiencies as evidenced by transportation occurrences; ! making recommendations designed to eliminate or reduce any such safety deficiencies; and ! conducting special studies and special investigations on transportation safety matters. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. However, the Board must not refrain from fully reporting on the causes and contributing factors merely because fault or liability might be inferred from the Board's findings. INDEPENDENCE To enable the public to have confidence in the transportation accident investigation process, it is essential that the investigating agency be, and be seen to be, independent and free from any conflicts of interest when it investigates accidents, identifies safety deficiencies, and makes safety recommendations. Independence is a key feature of the TSB. The Board reports to Parliament through the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and is separate from other government agencies and departments.

Box 149 3350 Spitfire Rd Cassidy, BC Canada V0R 1H0 Ph (250) 245-2157 Fax (250) 245-4308 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2 Millionth Passenger Milestone Achieved Nanaimo, British Columbia (May 11, 2016) —Celebrations are in full swing at the Nanaimo Airport, as the team welcomed the two millionth passenger through the terminal today as a part of the “You’re One in Two Million” campaign. 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. "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.

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.

The problems of noise, property devaluatíon and land use control, for example, have only recently been considered. As a result, this thesÍs will address ítself to land-use planning in the vicinity of airports. It Ís hoped that by review- ing problems and analysing present responses, alternatíve land-use planníng technÍques may be suggested which recognize the symbioËic relationship of aírports and surroundíng areas The disturbances caused by airport operations adversely affect those r"rho live or r¡rork ín the írnmedíate vicinity.
