Cruising Sailors' Squadron 2015-01-06
My thanks to the Cruising Sailors' Squadron for the opportunity to present my view of the marine issues relating to the Porter Proposal to amend the Tripartite Agreement governing the operation of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (aka the Island Airport). Your interest and questions are much appreciated.
I've put a copy of my presentation here, as well as links to some of the most relevant materials and web sites on the general topic of this expansion proposal (on both sides of the issue). I've also added links to materials related to the currently ongoing Environmental Assessment being developed by the Toronto Port Authority. Please feel free to share this page or any of the materials it contains far and wide.
