Passengers flying out of Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport have been accustomed to a unique additional step to reaching their gate when trying to catch a flight. Instead of being dropped off in front of the airport and walking inside to receive one’s boarding pass and go through security, travelers flying through Billy Bishop Airport must take a 90-second ferry ride across Lake Ontario to reach their gate. Billy Bishop Airport is located on an island in Lake Ontario, located two miles from the downtown area. While many passengers enjoy the ferry ride, others have complained that the quarter-hourly crossings cause a lot of stress for passengers trying to make their flight. 

Montreal's Champlain Bridge is one of North America's busiest spans, with 50 million vehicles crossing it each year.

On Wednesday June 8th, a large sinkhole opened in the middle of Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa, Canada. The hole expanded and consumed three lanes of the road as well as the sidewalk and a parked minivan. Nobody was injured but many businesses in the area have been affected. Due to the ongoing construction of a new transit line under it, the street was open only to busses, taxis, and pedestrians which greatly decreased the amount of traffic on the street.
