There is sufficient runway length and ramp space at Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary to handle A380 ops.

Kelowna's runway length for take-off would be marginal, as would manoeuvring on the ramp. Regarding width, the A380 is approved for 150' wide runways, but 200' wide runways are
preferable.

For Polar routes, in an emergency, Whitehorse and Churchill are doe-able. Yellowknife not so much.
