Mayor Demands Control of Toronto’s Shoreline | Canada News

Toronto’s mayor is firing back after the federal government killed plans to bring jets to Billy Bishop Airport, filing an urgent motion to reclaim waterfront land—including Little Norway Park and the Toronto Islands—to assert city control over its shoreline. The federal government, citing public opposition and prioritizing safety upgrades, shut down runway expansion plans, while Ontario insists it will push forward, promising to balance growth with noise, environmental, and housing concerns. Aviation experts note future demand may justify reconsideration, but the mayor’s office is furious over perceived secrecy from the Port Authority and warns of serious impacts on housing, traffic, and the environment.
