York Factory First Nation Ten Shilling Aerodrome Project

York Factory First Nation is proposing to construct and operate a new aerodrome along Ten Shilling Creek, approximately four kilometres south of York Factory settlement and National Historic Site, in northeastern Manitoba. As proposed, the project would include a single, private 1,530-metre-long airplane runway that would be used for emergency services, improve access to York Factory First Nation's traditional territory, and support tourism and future development in the local area.

Latest update

August 15, 2025 — The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) issued an early decision that no further assessment is required. IAAC’s analysis found the project’s potential adverse effects within federal jurisdiction would be limited or addressed through other means, as noted in the Notice of Impact Assessment Decision with Reasons. The project may now move forward with obtaining any necessary authorizations and permits from federal and provincial authorities.
