RICHMOND, B.C. — A First Nation in British Columbia has signed a long-term benefits agreement with the Vancouver International Airport. The airport, located in Richmond, B.C., sits on the traditional territory of the Musqueam people. Chief Wayne Sparrow says the agreement provides Musqueam people with employment opportunities at the airport as well as a voice in future development and environmental enhancements. Vancouver Airport Authority CEO Craig Richmond says the agreement is not only good for business, but it’s the right way for the airport to move forward in the community it serves.
