In 2023, the YYC Calgary International Airport welcomed a record breaking 18.5 million passengers Calgary, and brought endless Calgarians home or visitors into our city. To the Sandstone MacEwan community, the airport is better known to be a stones throw away – less than 15-20 minutes drive. This periodically results in air traffic taking off or landing over the SMCA communities depending on the direction of the wind, runway closures or other events.
SMCA in its role as facilicator and community partner receives updates periodically from the Airport Authority regarding impacting projects or closures, and we pass these along to our community using social media channels or email newsletters.
