Say No to Jets at the Island Airport

Federal leaders grounded the proposal to allow jets at the Toronto Island Airport following massive public opposition. This is a major win for community power and democratic participation.

We applaud the federal government for making the right decision — but the work isn't over. Expanding the Island Airport for jets will always be a terrible idea. To neutralize the threat, Transport Canada must fill empty Toronto Port Authority board seats with people who oppose jets and any changes that would threaten our waterfront, parks, environment, and communities. Ontario must also return all expropriated waterfront and Toronto Island lands to the City of Toronto.
