^Yes. Apparently there are very ambitious plans for Seneca as well as the aeronautics campus. And the Hangar has had inquiries from foreign universities about a campus in part of it.

Are the large former Bombardier hangars still empty, and could they be used for a paddock area if the IndyCar race was moved to YZD?
I'm not sure if this rumour of them looking into other locations for the race has any substance. It seems to be originating more from Indianapolis, and I don't see any mention of it (at least not yet) in any Toronto media, so maybe it's just a negotiating ploy? I assume we'll find out something soon, as IndyCar will have to announce their 2026 schedule of races before much longer.

But it's doubtful that they would want another F1 race in Canada after just renewing the arrangement for Montreal to 2035.

btw, Live Nation Entertainment, who operate the music stadium at YZD, is 35% owned by Liberty Media, owners of Formula One Group.

One of the hangars is now a big paddle board facility so they are gradually filling up.

Several have been leased and are being used as film studios.

And now cancelled for 2025 because of "funding issues", like so many other festivals.
