Below is a link to a VERY SHORT Youtube clip of a Toronto city council meeting discussing the effects on the bird population of an expansion of the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Jet engines are even more dangerous to birds (and vice versa) than are propellor planes. For this reason, Ports Toronto, should the expansion go through, will tamper with bird environments and CULL BIRD POPULATIONS in the area, which will affect not only water birds and permanent residents, but also migrating songbirds.
Here is the link:

Please EMAIL YOUR COUNCILLOR to tell them to say NO to the expansion when it comes time for them to vote.
Below is the link to find your councillor and his/her email address. It will take you only minutes to send an email, but councillors need to hear from their constituents to get the message!
It's the least you can do to try to protect our bird population and our gem of a waterfront (Islands, beaches and parks)!
You can find your ward/councillor, and email address at this link:

Thank you for your efforts!
I hope you're having a wonderful birding season! :)
