It now extends beyond the intersection of Sheppard Avenue and Dufferin Street. The area includes several large post-WWII subdivisions. Within the area is Downsview Airport, the former site of Canadian Forces Base Downsview, which has since been largely converted following the end of the Cold War into an urban park known as Downsview Park.

Canadian Air and Space Museum ( Art & Culture / Museums ). Located at 65 Carl Hall Road, Toronto. The Canadian Air & Space Museum (formerly the Toronto Aerospace Museum) was founded in 1997 and is an important year-round attraction within Downsview Park, Canada’s first National Urban Park which is managed by the federal government. The Canadian Air & Space Museum is a Registered Non-Profit Organization. The Museum’s Charity Registration number is BN 87605 3968 RR0001.
The Museum is located in a building that isn’t just full of history it’s part of history - from the days of wood and fabric open cockpit biplanes of the 1920’s, to the dawn of the space age in the 1960s.
The building is the original 1929 home of the de Havilland Aircraft of Canada Ltd., (one of Canada’s most successful aircraft manufacturers) and also the original home of Canada’s leading space technology company best known as SPAR.
The site contains the oldest surviving aircraft factory in Canada, and the birthplace of the famous Beaver and Otter bush planes which opened the Canadian North and were sold to customers in 65 countries. It’s also where de Havilland engineers assembled and tested the first Canadian satellite, Alouette I, which established Canada as the third nation in space when launched in 1962. The Downsview site also shares the distinction of being the home of one of the world's leading commercial aircraft factories, and was Toronto’s air force base for 50 years.
In this unique and authentic setting, Canadian Air & Space Museum celebrates the aerospace accomplishments of Canadians, and the long association of Canada with aeronautical innovation, aircraft manufacturing, military aviation, air transport and the pure joy of flight.
