It’s so encouraging to see so many people sign the petition and share it with their friends and neighbours , especially in Dorval. Thanks for joining me in this campaign to have no more scheduled flight from midnight to 7 a.m. at YULMontreal-Trudeau airport . It’s a reasonable ask. It’s more and more a beneficial and necessary ask. It rests on the premise that both human beings and the environment need a significant break at night from the noise and pollution that YULMontreal-Trudeau produces all day long. Just imagine, over 200 000 aircraft movements a year at this airport , over 21 million passengers ! The airport authority wants to reduce its noise footprint. It wants to change their 24/7 flight operations. This is excellent news ! Except the ADM’s proposal of just 5 hours of peace and quiet a night is just not enough. It’s arbitrary. Human beings need a minimum of 7 hours of sleep. That’s health science. Isn’t this the most logical place to start? We think it is . Let’s allow both people and nature adequate rest and recovery for at least 7 hours every night. Please sign the petition if you haven’t already. Please share it with your friends.
