This Circular Economy Month, we’re highlighting how pieces of YZD’s aviation past are finding new life.

The Runway and Taxiway have played host to events from Runway Reels and drone shows to Play on the Runway, acted as the backdrop to blockbuster movies, and more than 21.5 tonnes of material have been salvaged and reimagined. Think low-energy light fixtures, fuselage turned into planters and more.

It’s all part of looking at what’s already here through a different lens.

As Runway Reels wraps up this weekend, it’s a fitting example of what reuse can look like in action.

How do you design a memorable neighbourhood from the ground up, knowing it will set the tone for a whole new part of Toronto?

For the planning team behind the Hangar District, YZD’s first neighbourhood, it’s meant thinking about more than just what gets built. Community engagement has helped shape that thinking from the very beginning. Alongside the site’s aviation legacy and its connections to the wider city, what we’ve heard from the community continues to guide how people will move through the neighbourhood, where they’ll gather, what will draw them in and what will make them want to stay.

With enabling works construction now complete and a market-interest process underway for the North Hangar lands, the Hangar District is taking another step toward reality.

Read our latest blog at the link in bio where members of the planning team share some of the thinking that has shaped the Hangar District from the beginning, and how designing around everyday life can help create a vibrant, enduring neighbourhood for generations to come.

For years, the conversation around YZD has focused on what’s possible. Today, the focus is increasingly on what’s next.

With enabling works in the Hangar District, now complete, and a market-interest process for the North Hangar lands underway with Cushman & Wakefield, momentum continues to build in YZD’s first neighbourhood.

Opportunities to help shape a new piece of a city don’t come around often. As YZD moves from vision to implementation, the Hangar District represents a rare opportunity to transform a former airport into a thriving mixed-use neighbourhood rooted in innovation, culture and community, while helping to shift Toronto’s centre of gravity.

Take a look at the possibilities ahead.

Great cities connect people to opportunities, experience and each other.

Following last week’s Ontario Bike Summit, we’re reflecting on how cycling helps create more connected, accessible and sustainable communities.

At YZD, cycling is being planned as part of a broader mobility network, connecting people to transit, parks, public spaces and surrounding neighbourhoods.
And some of that vision is already taking shape. Bike Share hubs at YZD, Wilson Station, and Ancaster Community Centre help connect people to the site, while Northcrest staff regularly use bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters to get around YZD. We’re also working with partners like Live Nation to make cycling to concerts and events easier and more convenient.

Because building complete communities means giving people real choices in how they move.

Community showed up in a big way this past weekend for the 2026 Indigenous Hockey Equipment Drive, hosted at YZD.

Since its inception in 2014, the Indigenous Hockey Equipment Drive has collected and distributed 6,550 bags of gently used and new hockey equipment, as well as hundreds of sets of goalie gear, to 81 Indigenous communities across Canada.

Thank you to Graham McWaters for your continued partnership and guidance, and to everyone who donated equipment, volunteered their time, helped organize the event, or spread the word.

Your support will help put hockey gear into the hands of young players and ensure more youth have the opportunity to participate in the sport.

Help us fill the truck!

On September 20th, Northcrest is once again hosting a drop-off day for the Indigenous Hockey Equipment Drive in partnership with Graham McWaters and a fantastic group of local hockey teams.

Last year, our community donated more than 50 full sets of hockey equipment and 100+ sticks for Indigenous youth. This year, we’re hoping to surpass that total, and we’d love your help!

If you have gently used hockey equipment to spare, bring it to the YZD Experience Centre and help get more equipment into the hands of young players.

Every donation makes a difference.

What do you want to see at YZD?

On World Letter Writing Day, we’re looking back at the letters we’ve already received.

Through our postcards to the future initiative, visitors to the YZD Experience Centre and YZD events have been sharing what they’d like to see in Toronto’s next chapter.

The messages offer a snapshot of the places people want to spend time in and one idea that shows up again and again: more parks and green spaces.

Feedback like this helps inform our planning as we work to deliver more than 70 acres of parks and open space across YZD.
Come visit the Experience Centre today to have your say.

What happens when young artists are invited to imagine the future of a place?

Earlier this month, students from Just BGRAPHIC’s Summer Arts Academy unveiled a series of YZD-inspired projects created over six weeks of collaboration, exploration, and creative expression.

Working across the digital, visual and performing arts, students used YZD as a creative brief, developing projects that reflected their own perspectives on community, public space, belonging, and the future of city-building.

The result? A short film, sculpture, video game and more.

We’re proud to support programs that give young people meaningful opportunities to build their creative skills while contributing their perspectives to conversations about the future of our city.

Thank you to the students, mentors, and the Just BGRAPHIC team for another inspiring Summer.

Watch our highlight reel for a look back at the exhibition, award ceremony, and some of the incredible work created throughout the program.

Runway Reels is returning to YZD this October.

Across four weekends, people will come together for cinema under the stars, live music, public art and shared experiences.

This year also offers an early look at The Apron – a new gathering place at YZD, featuring original artwork and an animated short film created through our collaboration with OCAD University.

Experiences like Runway Reels are about more than entertainment – they bring people onto the site, support local artists and cultural partners, and create opportunities to connect with YZD long before the full build out.
