Billy Bishop Airport Releases Third-Annual Sustainability Report

On May 19, Billy Bishop Airport released its 2019 Sustainability Report. This is the third edition of the Billy Bishop Airport Sustainability Report, which documents measures taken to implement policies, programs and initiatives to make the airport cleaner, greener and quieter, in an effort to set a new standard for how a modern airport operates in an urban environment.
 
The global aviation industry will continue to face the rolling impacts of the COVID-19 health crisis for months and years to come. However, despite the challenges and temporary setbacks that have resulted from the pandemic, Billy Bishop Airport continues to prioritize its role as a leader in sustainable airport operations. Our airport is immensely proud of its record on sustainability and in presenting this report, we strive to document our achievements to date, and clearly define future goals as well as areas for improvement.

In 2019, Billy Bishop Airport continued to implement sustainable practices, support the community and wellbeing of its employees, and invest in programs and infrastructure that protects the environment and grows Toronto’s economy. From initiating the conversion of the airport’s Marilyn Bell I passenger/vehicle ferry to electric-power, to commencing an air-quality study with the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Association and the University of Toronto, to continuing to choose 100% green electricity from Bullfrog Power, we highlight all of the initiatives, both large and small, implemented by Billy Bishop Airport that demonstrate our commitment to operating sustainably.
