Why NoJets?
Toronto's Waterfront is our heart. It's where Toronto goes to relax and play. For many others its where we run, picnic, work, sail, and live. Our Waterfront is now revitalized, and as a city we've invested money, time, and passion into making it the Waterfront we deserve. The Island Airport expansion threatens all of that. See the points below and share the images to let your friends and family know that you're standing up for your Waterfront.
Your backyard in the heart of the city
Public space is important to Torontonians. It's why we've invested in making the Waterfront a place for residents and families to gather and spend their time. In the winter we skate, in the summer we attend festivals and sample delicious food. Waterfront activities attract 17 million visits per year. An expanded Island Airport will change all this, turning the Waterfront into Pearson-by-the-Lake.
Issues
Ecological Toll
Increased fuel emissions and toxins pose a direct threat to the fragile ecosystem of Lake Ontario and the surrounding parklands. Birds, who use Lake Ontario like a migratory highway, are incompatible with jets.
Jets Don't Fit on our Waterfront
Massive Boeing 737 size jets simply don't fit on our waterfront. To support jets we would have to pave the lake, and more specifically pave our central waterfront through to Ontario Place. Our waterfront works when uses are in balance; from sailboats to kayaks to swimmers, no one use dominates. Jets would dominate our harbourfront.
WATERFRONT VISION
We advocate to protect our revitalized waterfront as a place to live, work and play. We have invested billions into a revitalized waterfront, which has had returned billions more to the economy. Adding jets to the mix disturbs that balance and negatively affects the Port Lands development and could cost all of the affordable housing planned there.
