My Airline is currently based in Toronto-Person(YYZ) but most of my fleet Check D due date is really close together. Does that mean the risk of bankruptcy is really HIGH during that year?

Sorry, but again it is hard to get by what you really want to know.Your base airport is of no interest regarding maintenances.
Once before you´ve been asked to post clear situation details, otherwise noone from outside beginner world can answer your questions.
We don´t know anything about your financial situation,for instance.
But you can answer that question to yourself if you just add things that are obvious.
Every plane you fly has it´s own information page. Just look for "maintenance" and it will tell you the cost of checks for this plane.
If you additionally think of the time, that each aircraft is out of service, meaning earning no money, and add all that stuff together,
the answer should be clear.
Unless your airline is VERY rich, you will face big trouble at least.
Shows you will have to pay attention to many details before leasing/buying aircrafts or to get rid of /replace them before D-check is dooming.
Except you own them, it´s one of the first two D-checks in their life-time and you plan to use them for the next 8 years.
If D-checking makes an economical sense, you can manually start that process anytime you want, thus spreading those checks apart from each other, but you will have to start early,don´t delay checks after they are due or you will face groundings,fines and an immage hit.
