Bishop House: Museum, Archives and National Historic Site is very pleased to announce that PortsToronto (formerly known as the Toronto Port Authority), the owner and operator of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, has come onboard as a Platinum Sponsor of our 2015 Victory Dance Gala.

Dollars raised through the Gala, which serves as Bishop House's major fundraiser for the year, support the important exhibitions, educational programmes and work with local Veterans that Bishop House undertakes as part of our ongoing operational activities. The staff, volunteers and thousands of people who visit Bishop House each year are deeply appreciative of this important contribution by Ports Toronto.

Located on Toronto Islands, just a short walk or bike ride away from Toronto's downtown financial and cultural districts, Billy Bishop Airport welcomes more than two million travellers each year and is Canada's ninth busiest airport. The airport offers service to 20 destinations in Canada and the U.S., with connections to more than 80 destinations around the world, and in 2013 was recognized by Skytrax as one of the world's best small airports.

"William (Billy) Bishop was one of Canada's great war heroes and an inspiration to all through his courage and dedication to our country. Our airport bears Billy Bishop's name to honour his achievements, as well as those of all veterans and members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and today we are pleased to support Bishop House in their efforts to do the same," said Deborah Wilson, Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs of PortsToronto.

Support by organizations such as PortsToronto ensure that Bishop House continues to deliver high standards of programmes, exhibitions and activities, all of which honour the legacy of William Avery (Billy) Bishop and which contribute to the quality of life here in Owen Sound.
