Update - Downsview Park in Toronto, Ontario.

1.Centennial College created a satellite campus in the former de Havilland Aircraft Building at 65 Carl Hall Road, Toronto. Canada Lands Company leased the building to the College, and the College has to pay for the restoration of 65 Carl Hall Road including outdoor work areas on the tarmac and surface parking.
2.Ward 9 - North York councillor Maria Augimeri found out through a source that Canada Lands Company has asked city officials to revisit the park's official plan, allowing for 10,000 residential units on the land.
Maria Augimeri:
      "They already have permission for 10,000 units, 25,000 new people. How much more does their greed call for?" 
The City of Toronto and the Ontario Municipal Board approved the updated Official Plan, which will permit more residential construction.

3. Aviation buildings located at 40 and 60 Carl Hall Road will be deconstructed. Partial deconstruction of 75 Carl Hall Road will be permitted to build a hockey arena.
