TORONTO — The sounds of jets roaring through the skies of Toronto often elicit gasps and cheers from fans of an annual air show that takes place each Labour Day weekend, but they're also prompting outcry from those who fear the noise from the event d
Detractors of the Canadian International Air Show say the event, a staple of the Canadian National Exhibition featuring military pilots demonstrating their most elaborate loops, rolls and turns, causes undue stress for those living with PTSD and needless disruptions for people and pets alike.
Anita Presnyak and Anton Babych, originally from Ukraine and living near the CNE site, said some of their friends who are still struggling with memories of war expressed discomfort with the air show and even experienced panic attacks from the noise.“Immediately, he tries to find me and he runs towards me and sometimes runs into the couch,” Presnyak said.
He said he enjoys the show but would prefer to see it run for a single day rather than throughout the Labour Day weekend. “The big one, she does kind of just sit in the corner of the couch and curls up into a ball,” he said.
