Buttonville was a hub for general aviation, making it ideal for private pilots.





Toronto/Buttonville Municipal Airport, located in the suburban area of Markham, Ontario, served as a medium-sized airport primarily for general aviation. Known for its strict noise-reduction procedures due to its proximity to residential areas, the airport was operational 24 hours a day until its closure in November 2023. It featured a weather station and was classified as an airport of entry, with Canada Border Services Agency officers available on a call-out basis. Despite its closure, the airport was once among Canada's busiest for aircraft movements.
