About the Riding
Malton's proximity to Pearson Airport shapes much of the local economy. Airline catering facilities, logistics warehouses, cargo operations, and hotel chains are major employers, and the Airport Employment Zone generates billions of dollars in annual economic activity. The neighbourhood itself is a dense residential area of postwar apartment blocks and townhouse complexes, and it has historically served as a first-landing community for newcomers to Canada. By 2015, community leaders were pressing for improvements to transit connections between Malton and the rest of Mississauga, better recreational facilities, and investment in affordable housing to keep pace with the neighbourhood's growing population.
