Hamilton:
from the museum you have a nice view onto the freight apron with sometimes some mil traffic visiting the lunch facilities of museum.

Niagara:
With west wind, go behind the No Trespassing signs on some deserted industrial area for photography of landing traffic, but keep low profile. as along the road you will be send away.

Toronto City Airport
Downsview
Hamilton

Visited above three airfields in June.

Toronto City:
took the ferry to the terminal, but from here there are no views on the ramp (hangars were closed as well).
From the other side of the water (some kind of waiting point) landing and departure could be seen.
In approx 2,5hours we saw approx 15-18 Porter DH8's and 2-3 Air Canada DH8's

Downsview:
Is a testing facility of Bombardier, no movements were seen during our visit.
Result of a drive around the airport were 10x Global Express and 3x DH8 (1x BT, 2x WS)

Hamilton:
Homebase of KF/Purolator. During our visit approx 15/20 aircrafts were on the ground (8x B727F !).
DHL/UPS/Cargojet and even Westjet are visitors as well.

Peter, I was there two years ago as well. Check my website (Trip reports --> Ontario 2011), could be helpful to you.
