Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The Island Airport is the centre of a controversy that must soon be resolved: Should the property be made into an airport for short-takeoff-and-landing planes, perhaps with a bridge to the mainland and a parking lot? Should it become part of the Toronto Island park? Should it be used for housing? Or should it be kept for a few more years for general aviation? The politicians will decide within the next year.
