July 24, 2026 – This week, Claire Van De Weghe speaks with activists around the Beaches and Toronto Island about a recent push to protect Toronto’s waterfront from the pollution and noise at the Billy Bishop airport. Aired before plans for bringing jets to the island were cancelled by the federal government, this episode covers what the health implications of the airport expansion and addition of jets would be, and the ways the community has already been impacted by airport pollution in the area. After going to city hall to get an official health assessment approved, community members believe they need to continue to push to protect their communities from future harms that plane-made pollutants like ultrafine particles and chemicals would do.
