WHEREAS:

• Transport Canada must address the ongoing aircraft-induced noise pollution by exercising their authority and implementing necessary actions in the Humber River-Black Creek community;

• It is concerning that NAV Canada has not proposed any mitigation strategies, such as curfews, to shield our neighborhoods from excessive nocturnal noise disturbances;

• We firmly believe that environmental responsibility extends to addressing both air pollution and the adverse effects of noise on our well-being;

• When noise exceeds acceptable limits, it poses a significant threat to our well-being and safety; and

• It is crucial for Transport Canada to recognize this and take appropriate measures to safeguard our community members' health and safety.

THEREFORE: We, the undersigned residents of the Humber River-Black Creek community, call upon the government of Canada to:

• Promptly assess nighttime noise pollution caused by aircraft activities in our community;

• Collaborate with NAV Canada to develop effective mitigation strategies, considering curfews and other noise reduction measures;

• Establish and enforce noise level regulations, ensuring emissions remain within acceptable limits;

• Conduct regular monitoring to ensure compliance with regulations; and

• Engage in transparent communication with the Humber River-Black Creek community, keeping us informed about progress and future plans.
