Comox a preferred location for Search and Rescue Training Centre
Comox has been named a preferred location for a possible Search and Rescue (SAR) training centre.
One of the bids for the Fixed-Wing Search and Rescue Aircraft Replacement Project has officially named Comox as its location of choice for the accompanying Search and Rescue (SAR) Training Centre. Should this project move forward, the training centre will be a 72,000 sq. ft., three-storey facility that houses training classrooms, simulators and a training hangar to house a full-scale C-27J maintenance training aircraft platform. The centre will take up to four years to build. The government is expected to consider this project for approval in the fall of 2016.
Tender for Campbell River water supply project expected in July
