We, the undersigned, respectfully submit this petition to voice our concerns about the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) air show, which has been a source of disruption, anxiety, and negative impacts on our beloved city of Toronto.

The CNE air show, while intended to provide entertainment, has increasingly become a source of distress for many residents and visitors. We believe it's time to reconsider its continuation due to the following reasons:

Disruption: The CNE air show disrupts the daily lives of countless Torontonians. The deafening noise created by the aircraft can be heard for miles, shattering the peace and tranquility of our neighborhoods.
Anxiety-Inducing: For some members of our community, including veterans and individuals with sensory sensitivities, the air show triggers anxiety and distress. This event should not come at the expense of the mental well-being of our residents.
Environmental Impact: The air show contributes to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, harming our environment. In a time when we should prioritize sustainability and clean air, such events run counter to our goals.
Traffic Congestion: The CNE air show often leads to road closures and traffic chaos, causing unnecessary inconvenience to commuters and residents.
Wildlife Disturbance: The noise and activity associated with the air show can disturb local wildlife, potentially disrupting their habitats and behavior.
We believe that the time has come to reevaluate the value of the CNE air show in light of its negative impacts on our community. We urge the organizers of the Canadian National Exhibition and city officials to consider alternative forms of entertainment that are more inclusive, less disruptive, and aligned with our commitment to a sustainable and harmonious city.

By signing this petition, we seek to initiate a constructive dialogue to explore alternatives to the CNE air show that can bring joy and entertainment to our city without causing harm or discomfort to its residents. Together, we can ensure that Toronto remains a welcoming and peaceful place for all.

Let us work together for a Toronto that values the well-being and happiness of its residents above all else. Sign this petition to advocate for change today.
