Hundreds of Torontonians celebrate after feds reject Billy Bishop jet expansion
✦AI Summary
Toronto residents celebrated after the federal government rejected plans to expand Billy Bishop Airport to accommodate jet aircraft. Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon cited strong public opposition as the primary reason for the decision, though he left the possibility of future changes open.
A previously planned rally to save Toronto's waterfront became a celebration of the power of community, a news release by advocacy groups NoJetsTO and Environmental Defence said. The rally, march and flotilla event Sunday kicked off at Harbour Square Park, then marched along Queens Quay and landed at HTO Park.
