The Chadwicks await the arrival of a loved one at the Regina Airport.
Things are taking off at Regina’s airport after a year of people being urged to avoid all unnecessary travel.
“We have seen a surprising and really incredible rebound in the past couple of weeks,” said James Bogusz, the president and CEO of the Regina Airport Authority.
“We’ve been trending here at the airport for most of the pandemic (at) around nine to 10 per cent (of pre-COVID passenger traffic for) an average. The last couple of weeks, we’ve been trending closer to 35 plus per cent. It’s been a huge difference. It actually feels like a busier airport now.”

Driving future of young people
Cessnock City Council has partnered with Youth Express and RGH Driver Training to deliver professional driver training and mentoring to young people in the Cessnock Local Government Area (LGA). The training is aimed at breaking down potential barriers to employment.
Transport issues and the lack of a driver’s licence are a primary obstacle to gaining employment for young people, particularly in regional areas. The Cessnock Youth Driver Training Program provides a pathway for local youth to achieve a driver’s licence.
The program is expected to support more than 50 young residents to obtain their provisional licence. To date, the program has approved 48 applications for driving lessons. Teresa Hughes from Youth Express and Danielle O’Hara from RGH Driver Training have been instrumental in coordinating the delivery of 115 hours of driver training.
