NoJetsTO is a non-partisan coalition of concerned Canadians, representing residents across Toronto (Ontario, Canada), who are
- dedicated to preserving Toronto’s mixed-use waterfront and a boutique Island Airport (a.k.a. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport) by protecting the Tripartite Agreement that governs it; and
- opposed to the expansion of the Island Airport through jet aircraft and extended runways.
- “We are opposed to turning the Island Airport into a Pearson-on-the-Lake.“
- Toronto Pearson International Airport has plenty of capacity to grow.
- And with the new rail link opening in spring 2015, a 25-minute train to the Pearson airport will leave Union Station every 15 minutes.
- “We are opposed to turning the Island Airport into a Pearson-on-the-Lake.“
This video presents “Q400 to CS100.”
Facts about the Proposal to Allow Jets on Toronto’s Island Airport
- This is an update to the previous blog, Your Input: Use of Jets at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport + Communities’ Cultural Infrastructure
- On December 16, Toronto City Council will be voting on whether to allow jet aircraft at the Island Airport.
- Green Neighbours 21 informed us that the citizen group NoJetsTO has launched a petition urging councillors to vote against the motion.
- “They point out that turning the boutique Island Airport into a Pearson-by-the-Lake with jet aircraft, extended runways and almost twice as many passengers will forever change the character of Toronto’s waterfront and put our health, safety and environment at risk.
- The waterfront is a magnet for over 17 million visitors each year and home to thousands of birds — why put all this at risk?“
The citizen group NoJetsTO is urging Torontonians to
- sign the petition at www.nojetsto.ca/take-action,
- send an e-mail directly to your Councillor here, and
- ask your friends and family to send an e-mail to their Councillor.
