Heather Rigby serves as an Officer at Large and Resident Artist on the executive team of Land Over Landings, a grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to persuading the Government of Canada to cancel the Pickering airport plan. Although half of the original airport site had already been incorporated into Rouge National Urban Park, as of January 27, 2025, Transport Canada officially announced plans to transfer most of the remaining lands to the park as well. Land Over Landings has long advocated for this outcome, envisioning the area as a food hub of small, productive farms focused on training new farmers, advancing agricultural research, and providing a secure, local food source for Toronto and surrounding municipalities. Heather's illustrated map of the proposal vividly brings this vision to life.
