Stop the Province’s Land Grab, Give Toronto Island and Parkland Back to Toronto
Background
When the province of Ontario announced their desire to expand the Billy Bishop Island Airport, the city of Toronto “demanded to see the plans and worked to understand the potential impact it would have on our city” before supporting the expansion. Instead, “the Province passed legislation to expropriate City land” including Little Norway Park and the entirety of the Toronto Islands in order to pursue their plans. Since then, the federal government has announced that they would not support the expansion of the airport.
