The story of the Federal Lands is also the story of the land itself and the people who foraged, farmed, and settled here over millennia. The Timeline covers this history (Pre-1972); the first fight to stop the airport (1972-1975); the hiatus years (1976-2012); the aftermath of the second airport announcement (2013-2017); the North Pickering Farms vision and the City of Pickering’s aerotropolis campaign (2018-2019); and how climate breakdown, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the conclusions of the KPMG Report are changing the narrative (2020- ).
