On Saturday October 8th, 2011 - The Winnipeg Airports Authority Inc (WAA) welcomed community members to participate in test driving Canada's newest and greenest airport.
Over 4,300 volunteer applications were submitted in July for the 1,300 required for testing. The Purpose of trials was to involve the community in a process which will ensure the new terminal functions well and meets customer's expectations. Volunteers provided feedback forms in response to a series of real time, real life tests which will be used to make any adjustments prior to opening on October 30th, 2011.
The terminal is one of the 'greenest' in North America and is LEED registered, incorporating systems that minimize the use of energy and reduce greenhouse gasses while maintaining a comfortable environment for passengers.
During the episode Andru recalled his visit to the terminal and described the sites and sound that Winnipegger's and guests could expect once the new airport opened.
We also featured an interview with a volunteer named Alex who expressed his thoughts on the new terminal.
