Pearson LIFT takes off

On April 12th, the Greater Toronto Authority introduced Pearson LIFT (Long-term Investment in Facilities and Terminals), a multibillion dollar plan to modernize Toronto Pearson Airport.

We were thrilled to be involved in this project when Pearson reached out to us for help with naming it.

The capital plan aims to modernize existing airport infrastructure including high-speed taxi lanes, interim terminal facilities, and investments in power generation for net-zero targets.

"This playlist is my interpretation of a descent into darkness so it's very different from my fellow coworkers' playlists. We explore, dance, resist, pause, reflect, accept then entice. I love drawing inspiration from the dark and macabre. You'll hate it or love it, either way...no skips, no shuffle."
