Moving precious cargo. 🐋 This week, Toronto Pearson played a key role in an extraordinary rescue mission, helping safely relocate six beluga whales to aquariums across the border. From careful planning to specialized logistics, every step was focused on the well-being of these remarkable animals. We're proud to have supported the teams that made this complex journey possible.

This system allows passengers to keep large electronics, medical devices, and approved liquids, like aerosols, and gels in their carry-on baggage, streamlining the screening process through security.

Did you know Toronto Pearson is home to over 1 million honeybees? 🐝 Through our #YYBeez program, we’ve transformed unused green space near the runways into a thriving habitat for honeybees — supporting urban biodiversity, pollinator health, and sustainable agriculture right here at Canada’s busiest airport. Our YYBeez program illustrates our commitment to environmental stewardship, community education, and sustainability in action. This year, we partnered with the Malton Youth Hub to decorate the beehive boxes, making the project even more meaningful for the local community. Our beekeeper, Kuldip Jassal and youth from the Malton Youth Hub spoke about Toronto Pearson's YYBeez program and the newly decorated hives.
