Passionate discussion of jets at May 6 WFA Speaker Series Event

 

 

 

 

Thanks to all who came to our Zoom event; a recording is here.

Our speakers included Toronto City Ward 12 Councillor Josh Matlow, who has emerged as a key voice in the jets debate, and former Chair of Waterfront Toronto Mark Wilson with a fascinating presentation on how the Alto high speed rail project will cut into BBTCA's already declining short-hop flight business to Ottawa and Montreal, undercutting the already weak economic case for jets at BBTCA.

We also had a spontaneous guest appearance by former Toronto top planner Paul Bedford.

The very same evening, this great article in Spacing magazine appeared, featuring the image shown above of what a jet expansion at the Island Airport would actually look like.
