>plus at Brampton you're out in the country as opposed to Island Air at City Centre Airport (Toronto Island) with lots of traffic and a tower.
If that's supposed to mean that there's not much traffic at Brampton, try flying in the circuit there on a weekend !
As for atc practice, CYKF is only 10 minutes away, Buttonville's also close by, or the popular "CN Tower" excursion, will have you talkng to both CYYZ for flight following and City Centre tower.
