The airport has launched a campaign \u002D\u002D installing signage and posting on social media \u002D\u002D explaining how dangerous picnics can be.
“Not everyone is able to make the link between having food and what we call bird strikes — the risk of a collision between an airplane and a bird,” she said.
The risk from birds is highest during takeoff and landing, Hamel said, which makes the park’s location along the runway particularly dangerous for bird strikes. Bird strikes have been linked to several crashes in Canada, including a 2020 collision that killed a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Snowbirds demonstration team. In April, a Flair Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 was forced to return to the Calgary airport after multiple bird strikes.
“If the park eventually becomes a danger, one of the measures that could be put in place to mitigate that risk would be, unfortunately, to close it,” she said.Jeremy Cameron, who was on a date, said the park is a great spot for a picnic.Article content
