Notice: Toronto Pearson Emergency Exercise – May 24–25, 2025

By Announcement, Stephen’s Initiatives

Toronto Pearson will be conducting its annual full-scale emergency exercise beginning the evening of Saturday, May 24, 2025, continuing into the early morning hours of Sunday, May 25.

This Transport Canada–mandated exercise is an essential component of our emergency preparedness program and has been conducted annually for more than 30 years. The exercise is designed to test and strengthen emergency response capabilities across the airport community and involves coordination among airport staff, first responders, airline partners, and nearly 200 volunteers.

The exercise will begin at approximately 11:00 p.m. on May 24. It is deliberately scheduled during overnight hours to minimize disruption to regular airport operations. Passengers and flight activity will not be impacted, and operations will continue as normal throughout the event.

Please note: travellers and members of the public may observe an increased presence of emergency responders at the airport during this time. This is part of the exercise and not an actual emergency.

Our media team will post updates on our X channel – @TorontoPearson – including details on when the exercise begins and when it concludes. We encourage you to check our social media for real-time updates.
