TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO, WHEREAS our community is situated beneath multiple flight paths originating from Canada’s busiest airport; WHEREAS many residents have been enduring frequent and excessive airplane noise that directly affects their quality of life; WHEREAS other jurisdictions around the world have successfully implemented noise mitigation programs for homes in the most impacted areas;
Therefore, we the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to: Call upon the Federal Government to protect residents and implement a Residential Noise Mitigation Program for those impacted by airport operations under federal jurisdiction, modelled on existing programs in North America, Europe and Australia, including financial assistance for home retrofits such as soundproofing, ventilation noise barriers and other measures.
