Chapleau's airport was top-of-mind for Chapleau Town Council earlier this week.
Mayor Ryan Bignucolo notes Council discussed the Chapleau Airport Facilities Assessment in their regular meeting.
Mayor Bignucolo says Council also gave the go-ahead for the Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race to return to the airport.
While a first edition of the "Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race" was held in 2019, it hasn't been held since - the last attempt was in 2023, but it was cancelled just a month before it was to be held, amid a "devastatingly strong" wildfire season, which is also why the event has been moved to the third weekend of August, in hopes to avoid that.
