Pickering Airport behind the scenes activities

AN AIRPORT COMING TO FIELDS NEAR YOU?   Land Over Landings, the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, the City of Pickering and MP Mark Holland have been demanding for two years the release of the long-overdue Needs Assessment for an Airport on the North Pickering Lands. At the recent all-candidates debate in Claremont, both the Green Party and NDP representatives stressed their disgust with the idea of paving over this prime agricultural land.   In a CPAC interview Mr. Alexander said the Conservatives have a 'plan' for the land, if they get their majority. MP Bev Oda was the only candidate at a meeting in Uxbridge last Sunday who did not say she was against an airport. And Paul Calandra, MP for Oak Ridges-Markham, said that he was in favour of a small airport on the eastern portion of the lands, i.e. Pickering.   Just this week a local contractor received the following notice from a leading North American provider of construction information, referring to an airport in Pickering. Read for yourself and then join us in questioning the Conservative candidates in Ajax-Pickering, Durham, and York whether an airport on the federal lands of North Pickering is the 'secret agenda' of the Conservative Party of Canada.   People Or Planes and Land Over Landings: working to stop an airport and protect the land for nearly forty years. Now more than ever, we must save this prime farmland to feed our future.   www.landoverlandings.com
