During the meeting, senior management and members of the Board of Directors provided an overview of the organization’s 2019 fiscal year and confirmed the release of its 2019 Annual Report.
 
PortsToronto reported its twelfth consecutive year of profitability and growth in 2019. All of PortsToronto’s core business operations – Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, the Port of Toronto, the Outer Harbour Marina and Property and Other (real estate) – were profitable in 2019, generating $61.0 million in overall revenue.

In addition to discussing 2019 financial results at this year’s AGM, PortsToronto’s Chief Executive Officer, Geoffrey Wilson, provided an overview of the organization’s operational performance in 2019, including the launch or completion of important sustainability, community and city-building initiatives. He also addressed the challenges PortsToronto is currently experiencing in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
 
“PortsToronto’s Annual General Meeting provides an opportunity for our Board of Directors and senior management team to review our business performance for the past year and provide updates on the year underway,” said Geoffrey Wilson, Chief Executive Officer, PortsToronto. “While PortsToronto ended 2019 on a high-note, business is certain to look somewhat different in 2020 as the world adjusts to the COVID-19 pandemic and the aviation sector strives to recover. PortsToronto is well versed in adapting to new realities, and throughout the challenging months ahead, we are committed to doing what we can to maintain strong business operations and support economic recovery for Toronto.”
