Mayor Olivia Chow says she has filed an urgent motion to Toronto City Council seeking the return of airport lands the City says were expropriated by the province for the expansion of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The move comes after the federal government rejects Doug Ford’s plan to expand the airport. According to Chow, the City is asking the province to restore the land to the City, including Toronto Islands and Little Norway Park, and to reinstate the City’s position under a tripartite agreement that governs the airport’s administration and related land arrangements. The motion asks council to take steps to compel the province to return the property and address what Chow calls the disruption created by the earlier expropriation process. Both outlets describe the federal decision as the latest development in an ongoing dispute over who controls airport-related lands and what happens when an expansion proposal is halted. Chow’s initiative centers on restoring the City’s rights and the land’s original status following the change at the federal level.
