Last Thursday's 20th Anniversary bash for Artscape was a who's-who of Toronto arts philanthropy: the guest list boasted big names from around the city like Councillors Joe Mihevc and Gord Perks, Toronto Arts Council Executive Director Claire Hopkinson, Poet Laureate Pier Giorgio Di Cicco, and more. It was an evening of being seen, sampling a whirlwind of savoury hors d'oeuvres and trading congratulatory speeches with some of Toronto's most influential arts personalities.

At 9:30 PM last night, Pearson Airport's drab but functional Terminal 2 saw its final departure take off for the United States. In April the process of tearing down the building will begin, first with its concrete crushed to be used as the sub-base for a strip of new tarmac.

At 4.5 billion dollars, it is the single most expensive project in Canada's history and is largely to blame for Toronto's dubious honour of having the highest airport landing fee in the world. The airport has already recently seen the demolition of the old Terminal 1, the construction of its big and fancy successor, and the installation of the LINK Interterminal Shuttle connecting Terminals 1 and 3.
