Right -- that was the one I forgot.

Has any else noticed that LAHSO seems to be less common recently, in both
Canada and the U.S.?

LASHO here - CYYJ, Victoria BC Canada - has always been fairly common, and
doesn't seem to be getting less so. We've got three runways, all
intersecting, so LASHO is a huge efficiency gain.

According to one of our local Nav Canada Tower guys, CYYJ has the 4th or
5th most complex ground layout of all Canadian airports...

There's a rough diagram here, if anyone's interested:

I'm not sure where/if there's an official airport diagram on the web.
Transport Canada has been much slower than the FAA in making
publications/data available over the web...

From what you posted, the taxiways layout is simple enough (try taxiing
around CYUL or KPHL), but I can see how the runway layout would make traffic
management a pain, since they all intersect right in the middle. D'oh!

The DAFIF has some terminal procedures online for CYYJ, but they haven't
gotten around to the airport diagram yet:
