Buttonville officially dealt death blow . . .

A partnership was announced today, to kill the 10th busiest airport in Canada.

Armadale Co. Limited and The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited Announce Joint Venture for the Development of 170 Acre Buttonville Airport Site

Area of Buttonville is 170 acres, supposedly??, Markham airport just NE, has 600 acres available for development and rumored to be owned by the Thomson family.

Thomson family is the 20th richest $$$ family in the world.

Sifton family own and control Buttonville through Armadale Company, very sad they could not have found a way to leave the airport alone as a living legacy to their benefactor and late father - whose wish was to keep Buttonville running.

No exact closure date had been given, but it has been stated in 4 to 5 years the last aircraft will leave Buttonville.
