Explore Behind-the-Scenes at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport during Doors Open Toronto
On Saturday, May 25 Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport will once again open its doors as part of Doors Open Toronto 2024. Throughout the day, thousands of people are expected to visit Billy Bishop Airport as part of the annual city-wide event.
This year’s theme – Hidden Histories– is about telling the story of Toronto through its many pasts and voices. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year, and this theme could not be better suited for the occasion. Since opening in 1939, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport has served as an important commercial aviation centre connecting Toronto to the world; a training ground for both the Royal Canadian and Royal Norwegian Air Forces during World War II; a hub for General Aviation and life-saving emergency Medevac services; and as a key driver of Toronto’s economy. With 85 years of flight and history, what better location to learn and explore about the city’s hidden histories?
As part of Doors Open 2024, visitors will have a unique opportunity to explore the airport’s buildings and facilities, go behind-the-scenes of airport operations and learn more about its long and storied history operating on Toronto’s Waterfront.
