Aerospace Campus Working Group
Supported by Toronto City Council, this partnership of key aerospace sector stakeholders is working to create a major hub for the Canadian industry at the Downsview Aerospace Campus in Toronto. Phase 1 of the project began with the construction of Centennial College’s new $72-milllion aerospace facility (scheduled to open September 2018). Future phases include the relocation of the University of Toronto’s Institute for Aerospace Studies, an innovation centre, and space for the industrial supply chain. See background information.
