November 29 to December 3 marked the second annual Pearson Partners Week, our weeklong celebration of everything we do as an airport to volunteer in, partner with, and support our community.
From coffee chats and volunteer opportunities with our partners at MABELLEarts, Frontlines Toronto, SEVA Food Bank, ACCES Employment and Brands for Canada to a new art exhibit at Terminal 1’s Malton Gallery in partnership with JAYU, our team and our passengers celebrated our local community through discussion, art and giving.
