| | The Government of Canada to rename Montreal’s Dorval airport in honour of Pierre Elliott Trudeau - August 21, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Toronto’s airport was renamed after Lester B. Pearson (1983), Saskatoon’s after John Diefenbaker (1993), and Ottawa’s commemorates two Fathers of Confederation, former Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, and George-Etienne Cartier (1993). |
 | | Trudeau was well-known and well-respected by people around the world, and so it is truly fitting that Montreal’s airport, a key international gateway, be given his name,” said Minister Collenette. |
 | | Pierre Elliott Trudeau (1919-2000) was Prime Minister of Canada from April 20, 1968 to June 3, 1979 and then again from March 3, 1980 to June 30, 1984. |
