Toronto

Downsview is an area in the north end of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated in the locale of North York. Downsview was initially a ranch situated in the 1870s close to the present-day crossing point of Keele Street and Wilson Avenue. It presently stretches out past the convergence of Sheppard Avenue and Dufferin Street, however it is famously observed as including the zones toward the north straight up to the Toronto city limits at Steeles Avenue. The region incorporates a few substantial post-World War II subdivisions.

Inside the zone is Downsview Airport, the previous site of Canadian Forces Base Downsview, which has since been to a great extent changed over after the finish of the Cold War into a urban stop known as Downsview Park. Be that as it may, the airplane terminal is as yet utilized as an assembling and testing office for Bombardier Aerospace. The territory is named for the homestead settled by John Perkins Bull called Downs View in 1842 close Keele Street and Rustic Road. The army installation and the de Havilland organization, including the runway and all structures, was shut and sold to Bombardier Aerospace in 1994. Bombardier has been assembling and testing business airplane on the site from that point forward.
