Delegations

 

6.1
Ron Lalonde, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

 

Re: Noise at Oshawa Executive Airport


Refer to Item 11.1, Noise at Oshawa Executive Airport

Ron Lalonde appeared before Council and indicated that he was in support of the motion regarding noise at the Oshawa Executive Airport. Mr. Lalonde noted that noise associated with traffic at the airport has been increasing, primarily due to the operation of flight training schools. He advised that he had been in contact with the airport manager about his concerns. He noted that Whitby airspace is affected, and that aircraft associated with flight training schools operate in a circuit between 8:00 a.m. until after sunset. Mr. Lalonde advised that the aircraft used for flight training are basic and are not equipped with muffling devices and use leaded fuel. He indicated that during flight training a plane touches down on the airport runway approximately once every minute. He further explained that touch-and-go landings are prohibited after 4:00 p.m., however aircraft circumvent this by touching down, coming to a full stop, and then taking off. Mr. Lalonde raised concern with the September 2023 announcement to expand flight training at the airport, noting that the airport handles 100,000 aircraft movements annually, with 70,000 of those movements attributed to flight school operations. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Lalonde regarding:

  • the annual increase in airport traffic; 
  • challenges associated with controlling airport operations since the airport is federally regulated; 
  • the City of Oshawa's opposition to expanded flight training and the importance of the Town of Whitby supporting Oshawa's position; 
  • runway orientation at the airport and how Whitby residents are particularly affected by aircraft noise during certain weather and wind conditions; and,
  • opportunities for the Town's Member of Parliament to support the concerns of Whitby residents and advocate on their behalf.

6.2
Vasco Rebuli, Resident (In-Person Attendance)

 

Re: Noise at Oshawa Executive Airport


Refer to Item 11.1, Noise at Oshawa Executive Airport

Vasco Rebuli appeared before Council and indicated that he was in support of the motion regarding noise at the Oshawa Executive Airport. Mr. Rebuli advised that noise associated with traffic at the airport has been increasing, primarily due to the operation of flight training schools, specifically the Canadian Flight Academy. He indicated that aircraft noise adversely affects the quality of life for residents. He further stated that conducting training flights over a densely populated area presents a potential safety concern. Mr. Rebuli noted that he has been in communication with staff at the airport since 2018, noting that flights occur outside of approved operating hours. He raised concern about the September 2023 announcement to expand flight training at the airport. 

A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Mr. Rebuli regarding:

  • a flight tracking app used by Mr. Rebuli to determine the operators of aircraft flying over his home; 
  • the broad impact of aircraft noise on Whitby residents; and,
  • challenges associated with controlling airport operations as the airport is federally regulated.
