Following recent public discussions and a Vancouver Sun opinion article regarding lead exposure and aviation activity in Pitt Meadows, Pitt Meadows Regional Airport (YPK) has published an article providing additional information and context on the topic.
The article outlines the Airport's support for the federal Canada Aviation Action Plan 2050, ongoing efforts to reduce emissions within its operational control, and Transport Canada's work toward the eventual transition to unleaded aviation fuel. It also provides context on the regulatory framework governing aviation fuel in Canada and the Airport's plans to undertake a carbon emissions study in 2026.
Residents interested in learning more are encouraged to read the full article and watch YPK's presentation from the March 31, 2026, City of Pitt Meadows Public Council Meeting, where an overview of the carbon emissions reduction study and the federal Canada Aviation Action Plan 2050 was provided.
