Landlord Evicts Air and Space Museum
The Canadian Air and Space Museum, located at Downsview Park, has received an eviction notice from its landlord after falling $100,000 behind on its rent, according to ctvtoronto.ca. The museum’s CEO, Robert Cohen, said they were not expecting the notice and museum staff were rushing to clear the building today before they are locked out, removing everything from office equipment to an iconic Avro Arrow. Cohen claims that the landlord, Parc Downsview Park Inc., returned cheques he sent them earlier this month, adding that he believes there are plans to build a large sports complex at the site. The museum was founded in the historically rich building at Downsview in 1997; it operates as a non-profit organization.
