Russell airport upgrades lift rural Manitoba facility to standard
The Russell Ontario area airport shows a long funding arc from a $49 000 project through 1984 federal grants of $250 000 to extend the runway. Local club and town body funding continue with new beacons and a growing runway, while government support wanes. A three way funding plan seeks $131 666 from feds and province, leaving $131 668 for town and RM shares.
