A Beaver floatplane could be welcoming motorists into the city’s north end by the end of the year.

Council, at its Monday meeting, endorsed the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association’s proposal to proceed with installing the entrance feature as soon as possible, pending approval from the province’s ministry of transportation and infrastructure.

Brian Shaw, chair of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association which has been diligently working for years on an array of projects aimed at sprucing up and reviving the northern end of the city, said the floatplane should be ready to go by year’s end.
