About
Who is TORealityCheck?
We are Toronto residents, all volunteers, who care deeply about our city's future. A moderate, credible and determined independent voice, we maintain constructive dialogue with elected officials, governments, public agencies, community stakeholders and the media.
Our Vision
A vibrant, accessible Toronto Inner Harbour — the waterfront and its 15 islands — a crown jewel, one of our greatest civic achievements — where thoughtful stewardship balances recreational, cultural, residential, commercial and transportation uses, enhances quality of life, and supports economic vitality for future generations.
Our Purpose
To ensure active, informed public scrutiny of any proposed changes to Billy Bishop Toronto Island Airport by asking critical questions and demanding credible, evidence-based answers. Decisions must be grounded in facts, transparency and accountability—not unrealistic assumptions, political expediency or unsupported promises.
Our Mission
To ensure that decisions about Toronto Island Airport are made through a transparent, independent and evidence-based public process that serves Toronto residents.
We hold governments accountable by ensuring that their reasons, the consequences of their decisions and the public interest remain open to informed public scrutiny.
