Will They or Won’t They? Ontario’s Position on the Proposed Pickering Airport
A Growth in Airplane Usage With the growth of globalization, countries, cities and people are more connected than ever. With the advance in aviation technology, travelling by plane has increased dramatically over the past few years. The Greater Toronto Area in Ontario is home to some six million people and has welcomed an additional two million in international travelers during the first quarter of 2015 (Canadian Tourism Commission). A large percentage of travelers entering and exiting the GTA will travel through the Toronto Pearson International airport, Canada’s busiest airport, servicing 41 million travelers (an increase of 6.4% from the previous year) and 440

However, construction was quickly halted in 1975 when the Ontario government refused to build roads and sewers needed to service the site. The federal government then began to lease the site’s farmland and houses. In 2001, Transport Canada resurrected the plan and commissioned the Greater Toronto Airports Authority to conduct a study and release a report for the airport plans. In 2002, the federal government then announced a plan to preserve 3000 hectares of the site as green space which would also act as a corridor to Rouge Park and the Oak Ridges Moraine. The GTAA then released the Pickering Airport Draft Plan Report to Transport Canada. However, in May 2007, Transport Canada commissioned the GTAA to complete a “needs assessment” study for the potential airport. Transport Canada’s review of the study stated that an additional airport would be built but it is not expected to be required before 2027 or even 2037. In 2013 the federal finance minster announced revised plans for the Pickering airport lands. 3500 hectares would be set aside in the southeast area for the future airport. 2000 hectares from York Region was transferred to Parks Canada to add to the new Rouge National Urban Park. The remaining land would be marked for economic development. More than half of the Pickering lands were protected while many of the farmland across the sites continues …show more content…
Most opposing arguments are heard during protests of activists and lobby groups. By neglecting the public’s opinion, the federal government is neglecting a very important and integral part of the planning process. Although the government has yet to give the thumbs up for the construction, this does not mean the public’s opinion has been heard and taken into consideration. The government has only done half of its job by transferring some land to Parks
When you think your average baseball player, what do you think of? The player usually has all of his arms, legs, and no physical disabilities. Anyone who plays baseball would think it is hard to imagine that a person born without a right arm is able to play the game and let only be able to be a pitcher. Jim Abbott faces all the odds and has ten-year career in the major leagues. Abbott had to faces many obstacles throughout life and his playing career. Jim Abbott grew up being picked on since he didn’t have a right arm. When Abbott was younger he would use a steel hook as right hand and other children were afraid of him. Also, they called him names like Mr. Hook.
The dissent believes that the taking in this case is supported by statutory laws that the government is not taking over the private property, it’s not engaging in some form of physical invasion, or limiting the use of a landowner 's property in certain respects, if the public interest in regards to safety and/or the prevention of harm. The dissent struggles that Beachfront management act of 1986 expanded the critical areas to protect shoreline erosion which also include the ramifications that these actions can be taken without compensation in this case. Also, Lucas can still engage in recreational activities such picnic, swim, ...

Throughout this research paper, the discussion topic deals with whom or what Berea College should serve. Sources will be used to discuss the Appalachian region, Christian colleges, the Berea territory, and the history of Berea college. The topic of discrimination will also be discussed mainly focused upon what it is, how it can be used for good, and if it is okay to practice. Berea should primarily serve students who come from poor economic background regardless of their race, region, or religion because students might not have the same opportunities at another institution. Berea College should devote most of its acceptance percentage to the lower-class students of Appalachia. With the remainder percentage, Berea should accept lower class students
Who is Ethan Morrow? Google my name and you will find very little other than a few people that happen to share my name and strive athletically or have a long forgotten LinkedIn account. The Ethan Morrow that is writing to you today is a Sixteen year old that is a Senior in high school. Try searching my name with my high school and you will come to the realization that I play golf. My Max Preps account will display a rather mediocre golfing career and statistics revolving around it. This is me but it doesn't show my interest. The real Ethan lives at a home with his Mom and Dad. I go to North Davidson High School where I take the most difficult and rigorous courses available, these courses shape me along with my interest. If you ask about my interest, I will probably go on a rant about the environment.
In the case study, CEO Eisner have idea of American history theme park within area of battlefield in Prince William County, Virginia. Eisner’s idea of building historical theme over property that already made its mark within American would be redundant. Disney’s conceptual plan was to use 650 million and authorized $130 million in local roads to serve it (Argenti, 2013, p.234). The first vulnerable would be the public opinion for and against the proposal land usage. When news first come out of a theme park being place near DC there was fifty anti-Disney rallied in protest while several hundred children was dressed to simulate as 101 Dalmatians in ...
The person I chose for my project was Cole Sundt. The reason I chose him for my project was because of my close relationship with his dad. During football season I was very close to Coach Sundt and would always talk to him before and after practice. My family grew up knowing his family but I wasn't close with Cole really. It wasn’t up until football that me and Cole started to talk a little. I have always kind of knew him in a sense that i see him hanging with my cousins but I've never been close with him. I choose Cole because I feel like i can connect with him very well considering we have a lot of mutual friends and i have a lot of family members close with him and his family. This made me want to choose him as my person for the project.
One of the problems today is that America’s distrust for their leaders because they view them as ineffectual and removed. There is a need in America to democratize the public planning process and decision-making process. Many times projects, developments, and policy decisions are made without significant public input and participation. This often leads to m...

The preferred method of human movement across international boarders is traveling by air. According to the Air Transport Action Group, "the world 's airlines carried a total of over 3 billion passengers in 2013" and the International Air Transport Association stated that, " 2.8 billion people travelled by air". Oxford Economics projects significant growth in aviation through 2030, with passenger numbers expected to reach 5.9 billion.
Because of the total number of airports currently operating within the United States, there needs to be a way to categorize the airports currently in use, in order to better provide funding and to understand were each one fits into the air transportation system. In an effort to better identify the growth in the overall enplanements, The National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems (NPIAS) currently groups airports as: Primary airports, Commercial Service airports, General Aviation airports and Reliever airports (Young & Wells, 2011, p. 11).
