Leaving behind a Legace at the Kamloops Airport
KAMLOOPS — Fred Legace is savouring every minute of his final day at the Kamloops Airport, a job he says is the best in the city.
“It’s really exciting. It’s one of those necessary community infrastructure pieces,” said Legace, who’s been there for 14 years. “And when everything comes together, there’s no better feeling. It’s like a well-orchestrated symphony.”
Legace is stepping down as the maestro, a position he’s held since 2003. He came to Kamloops from Winnipeg then at a time — two years after 9/11 — when the airline industry was still rebounding.
