Master Plan survey results

 

Our region is growing, and so is our airport. The online survey for the YEG Master Plan 2048 provided a channel for stakeholders and members of the public to share their input on our growth and direction for the next 25 years.

The survey took place from October 25 to November 9, 2022, and garnered 4,878 responses in English and French.
