Toronto’s privately owned Buttonville Municipal Airport has received another stay of execution, with the announcement that it will remain open until at least spring 2023. In 2011, real estate companies Cadillac Fairview and Armadale Co. Ltd, which own the 170-acre plot the airport sits on, submitted an application to redevelop the property as a mixed-use residential and commercial site, and announced the general aviation airport would close in fall 2016.
