The Environment

Environment at the AirportSome people visualize Toronto Pearson as a wide expanse of runways, terminal buildings and roadways. Some see the enormous industry that has built up around the airport and wonder at all that concrete.

We see Etobicoke Creek and Spring Creek, winding their way along our western border. We know that approximately one third of Toronto Pearson’s lands are forests, grasslands, creeks, flood plains and agricultural. It is here that flocks of birds and other animals find their home.

We take extensive steps to protect these natural resources while continuing to meet the demands of a growing air travel industry. Our investment in the Partners in Project Green program helps to promote innovative collaboration with businesses in North America’s largest eco-business zone.

We can’t wait to unveil the Toronto Pearson portion of the Etobicoke Creek Trail, and witness your enjoyment as you walk, bicycle or commute along it.
