Fort St.
Fort St. John, British Columbia might not be the first place you think of when you list Canadian destinations, but thanks to a booming oil, gas and energy sector, it is at the centre of B.C.’s fastest-growing resource economy. And because an economy is only as good as its air access, North Peace Regional Airport (YXJ) in Fort St. John is keeping pace as a growing gateway to this burgeoning industry.
More than 186,000 passengers flew through YXJ in 2013, a year over year increase of 29.2 per cent, thanks largely to growing employment in the resource sector. In 2014, the airport is on pace to welcome 230,000 passengers. Since 1997, North Peace Regional Airport has opened a 30,139 square foot (2,800 square metre) terminal and upgraded its apron, taxiways and airfield lighting.

OTTAWA - One of the Royal Canadian Navy s four beleaguered submarines will remain docked for repairs an extra year after a leak was discovered in a ballast tank that was not properly drained.
The leak on HMCS Corner Brook is the latest setback for Canada s four submarines, which have spent more time in repairs than at sea since being bought second-hand from Britain in 1998.
