Petition Regarding Noise Pollution Generated by Airplanes Near Major Canadian Cities
We, the undersigned, Canadian residents, ask the Government of Canada to act quickly so that :
• The airports be subjected to a curfew (11 pm - 07 am);
• The airport authorities be subjected to comprehensive impact studies
(economic, environmental, health, social and urbanistic) and to public
hearings when major expansion works are planed;
• That the Canadian Parliament legislates to modernize airport activity
laws and regulations to ensure public health and environmental
protection;
• The airport authorities be subjected to annual review by the Auditor
General of Canada;
• An independent body, accountable to the Parliament, be created to
deal with nuisances arising from airport activities such as noise pollution.

Why is this important?
• Noise pollution generated by air traffic has increased significantly above major Canadian cities ;
• The quality of life and health of citizens are greatly impaired by
low-level flying aircrafts;
• Scientific evidence shows that noise pollution generated by aircrafts
brings serious health concerns and has effects notably on heart health;
• The inaction of Canadian airport authorities and their refusal to implement concrete solutions to minimize the nuisance caused by aircraft flyovers is obvious.
