Rob Moore MP and Minister Cannon at Transport Canada Hangar Official
Opening
November 30, 2006 -- Moncton, NB -- Fundy Royal Member of Parliament Rob
Moore was on hand during the official opening of the new Transport
Canada Hangar at the Moncton Airport. The construction of the new
facility was completed in February 2006 at a total estimated project
cost of $8.5 million.
The funding was required to replace the old wooden facility that was
built in 1942 for the Royal Canadian Air Force to support military
operations during World War II. The new hangar will house Transport
Canada's existing complement of aircraft and a fixed wing aircraft in
support of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police aircraft operations.
"I'm pleased to be here today with Minister Cannon," said Moore.
"This investment will help the Government of Canada provide crucial
operational and maintenance support for its air fleet and help retain
highly skilled employees in this community."
