Temporary Military Hangars and Facilities at CFB Bagotville
Official title: Interim Quick Reaction Area (QRA) development - 3 Wing Canadian Forces Base Bagotville
The Department of National Defence wants to build temporary facilities at CFB Bagotville while permanent ones are constructed. The project includes three dome-shaped hangars, modular trailers for staff housing and offices, security fencing, and a 5-metre concrete wall. Excavation work will be needed, with soil managed according to environmental regulations.
Why This Matters
Live near CFB Bagotville? Construction activity could affect local traffic and noise levels for several years. The excavation work may also impact local soil and water quality, though the military says it will follow environmental rules.
What Could Change
If approved, three large dome hangars and multiple modular buildings will be constructed on the base. A 5-metre concrete wall will be built around the hangars for security. New roads, utilities, and lighting will be installed. This temporary setup will remain in place until permanent facilities are completed.
Key Issues
- What are the environmental impacts of excavation and soil management?
- How will construction affect the surrounding area during the multi-year project?
