Cancelled proposed airport

There was a proposal to develop a new Pickering Airport northeast of the city, to complement Pearson. [3] Versions of these tentative plans had been in existence since the early 1970s, and land for this proposed airport was expropriated by government authorities in 1972. However, continued and vociferous local opposition to the Pickering airport scheme have meant that forty years later, the airport had not moved beyond the discussion phase. In June 2013, the federal government announced the revival of the airport, but development was not expected to take place until 2027 to 2037. [4] However, in January 2025 the Federal Government officially cancelled all plans for the Pickering Airport. [5]
