A memorial to the victims of the Air India Flight 182 disaster caused by terrorists. The flight originated at Pearson International Airport located just outside of Toronto.
Air India Flight 182 was a scheduled international flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport to Mumbai’s Sahar International Airport with regular Mirabel-London-Delhi stops. On the morning of June 23, 1985, the Boeing 747 serving the Montreal-London segment exploded near the coast of Ireland from a bomb planted by Sikh terrorists from the Babbar Khalsa. All 329 people on board were killed including 268 Canadian citizens, 27 British citizens, and 22 Indian citizens. The bombing of Air India Flight 182 is the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history and was the world's deadliest act of aviation terrorism until the September 11 attacks in 2001. It remains the deadliest aviation incident in the history of Air India, and the deadliest no-survivor hull loss of a single Boeing 747.

Butterfly Garden
A habitat created for butterflies consisting of meadow-like environment with wildflowers, tall grasses, bushes and other plants. See the web link for the best times to see butterflies, which do not like wind, rain or the mid-day heat on hot days. Even if there are no butterflies to see during your visit, there are still the wildflowers.
Humber Bay Park East has a large pond within the peninsula crisscrossed with footbridges. There is a small waterfall beside a bridge along the north side of the park. The far tip of the peninsula is rustic, and provides a view of the CN Tower in the distance.
Mimico Waterfront Park
Eastern end of Mimico Waterfront Park.
This four-storey lighthouse was built in 1895 and moved to its current location in 1981. The lighthouse is in a fenced-off location (to accommodate the Mimico Cruising Club) but can be viewed from the gazebo along Mimico Waterfront Park.
Unlike in the east park, automobiles can penetrate the 1.1 KM length of Humber Bay Park West to its end at Etobicoke Point. The west side of this park is fenced off from public access to accommodate two private boating clubs.
