The Tripartite Agreement governing the island airport expires in 2033. The operator of the airport recently asked to renew it, probably for 50 years. The City owns some of the land. It can say no. Should it? What are the alternatives? Will there be public consultation? City bureaucrats are preparing a long report, to go before Executive Committee of City Council on December 5, 2023. The key decision affecting the waterfront for generations could be made sooner than you think. Ed Hore asks Does the City Need a Second Airport?
Many thanks to David Stonehouse of the Waterfront Secretariat for leading a great a walk of Corktown Common, Oowemin Minesing, and along the water's edge promenade to Sugar Beach. We were thrilled to have a spontaneous appearance from Jed Kilbourn, Director Development Planning for Waterfront Toronto. Both have unmatched knowledge of Toronto's amazing waterfront revitalization. It was a beautiful night for a walk, and we learned a lot.
Thanks to all who attended our AGM on March 10, 2025.
