Official title: NAV CANADA Radiocommunication Antenna Addition in Island Lake, MB

Closed Regulations & Permits Technology & Digital Transportation
NAV CANADA wants to replace three radionavigation towers on Stevenson Island at Island Lake, Manitoba. The new towers will be about 30 metres tall and include a non-directional beacon plus two radiocommunication sites. This is part of improving air navigation services in the region.

Why This Matters

Live near Island Lake or fly in the region? These towers help planes navigate safely. The 30-metre structures will be visible from parts of the island. Future equipment additions could happen without another consultation.

What Could Change

Three new 30-metre towers would replace existing radionavigation infrastructure on Stevenson Island. NAV CANADA could add more antennas or equipment to these towers in the future without additional public notice.

Key Issues

  • Should the three radionavigation towers be replaced on Stevenson Island?
  • Are there concerns about the 30-metre tower height or visual impact?

Indigenous Consultation

This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
