Jet Dreams on Toronto Island (Part 2)
Secret environmental assessment says jets will harm Toronto’s waterfront and residents By Ian Darragh
"A secret environmental assessment found that allowing jets will increase air pollution, raising the risk of heart disease, lung cancer and respiratory tract tumours for residents living near the airport.
The Toronto Port Authority (TPA) commissioned AECOM Canada Ltd. to conduct the EA in 2017, but it only became public on March 11, 2026 as the result of a freedom of information request from No Jets T.O. (The TPA also withheld from the public an environmental assessment of options for runway end safety areas, an aviation safety standard mandated by Transport Canada to prevent aircraft from overshooting runways.)"

Jet Dreams on Toronto Island (Part 1)
What would it cost, who will pay, and who benefits? By Ian Darragh
"Neither the province nor the Toronto Port Authority have provided an estimate of the capital cost, nor the full environmental impact of extending the runway for jets.
Neither have they provided a business case that there is pent-up passenger demand. In fact, Billy Bishop has not yet returned to its pre-Covid passenger levels of 2.8 million in 2018 and 2.77 million in 2019. In 2025, Billy Bishop served 1.75 million passengers."
