| Waterfront Airport Expansion Meeting
On Tues. Nov. 22 at 7PM you have a date with destiny. Once again, the health of our city's waterfront is at stake. The federal government's Port Authority is trying to rush through yet another waterfront airport expansion plan which would increase air passenger traffic by 3,000% or more, turning the Island Airport into a polluting mini-Pearson. The cancellation of the bridge was not the end of the Port Authority's expansion dreams. They are about to spend $15-million more on a new ferry and airport buildings. This is just the beginning of a larger expansion scheme, detailed in the Port Authority's business plan for the airport. The federal Environmental Assessment Act requires the Port Authority to hold one public meeting to hear the public's concerns before the Port Authority okays its own Environmental Assessment and starts expanding the airport in a park. Mayor Miller's slogan "Stop the Island Airport Expansion" won him the 2003 municipal election. He will pressure the federal government to stop this latest expansion. We must all help by attending the Nov. 22 public meeting and by bringing friends and neighbours to tell the federal government what we think of its Port Authority's scandalous behaviour. Federal MPs, city councillors and the press will be invited. Will we let the federal government's legacy on Toronto's long-promised clean, green waterfront be a polluting mini-Pearson? Or will it be a spectacular park rising from the 215-acres of public land now occupied by the failing Island Airport? Meeting date & time: Tuesday, Nov. 22, 7pm Download a copy of the flyer for the Nov. 22 meeting. Print copies of the flyer to post in your building or neighbourhood. Susan Sparrow |
