Air Canada Flight 621 crashed into a farm field near Toronto International Airport, today Pearson Airport, just after 8 a.m. on July 5, 1970, a sunny Sunday morning. The flight started in Montreal, stopping in Toronto before flying on to its final destination in Los Angeles. The initial landing attempt failed and the plane exploded in the air as it gained altitude and flew around for another landing, falling to the ground in what is now Brampton. All 100 passengers and 9 crew members aboard the DC-8 were killed.

On July 7 2013 a memorial park was officially opened at the crash site off Degrey Drive in the Castlemore area of Brampton, near the intersection of Castlemore Road and McVean Drive. The park was put in place by contractors who were developing the former farm land. The park has 109 polished light pink granite markers in a random mosaic pattern set in black granite and a polished black granite plaque with the names of the victims mounted in a large pink granite boulder that was dug up on the site.
