It was a surprise announcement about something that wasn’t a surprise: an airport planned four decades ago on rural land north of Pickering. Campbell commissioned 4 poets to create work inspired by the geography, and dancers got people to think about the land. Imagine if the GO Train network connected to it and the case for a Pickering Airport diminishes quickly. As for jobs, in the GTA the “food and beverage cluster” does $17 billion in annual sales. At the time Campbell wrote Moveable Airport she was living in Claremont, just to the east of the lands.
