, freeing up city-owned Don Mills land to build 5,000 homes, including 1,500 affordable units.
The leaner, meaner Science Centre would be located in a building to be constructed on an existing surface parking lot “as well as in the preserved and upgraded iconic Cinesphere and pod complex” on the waterfront, said Ford. Infrastructure Minister Kinga Surma stressed that there would be parkland as part of the reimagined Ontario Place.
“Families and children will be able to ride a train across the island, celebrate in new events spaces and enjoy food and beverage accessible all year long. And finally, a new and improved marina will be a lively year round spot to socialize.”highlighted a slew of objections to the spa plan, which would require the cutting down of more than 800 trees.
Why have science centre on prime land when u can help out your buddies
Ford is correct. His plan is a good one.
Betcha Ford has never gone to the Ontario Science Centre in his life. Downsizing the new Ontario Science Centre - fordnation does not care about Education
We need 15 minute cities stop moaning
Build Back Better... thats the name of the game. You liberals should be loving it
Doug Ford go a week without interfering damagingly in Toronto challenge
End of an era. This was the annual school trip for a lot of us growing up.
Surely the housing will be low density McMansions built by fordnation’s donors.
fordnation has never been fond of science. His current plan for the OSC only confirms it. If the Premier is sincere about building ON's economy, he would be building an improved world class Centre, that would demonstrate our commitment to Science and Technology and our future.
70% of Ontarians effectively voted for this
'Housing', aka million dollar condos.

I just can’t comprehend how Torontonians, and Ontarians, are going to sit back and let this dictatorial move by fordnation happen. Will the next step be to tear down the Royal Ontario Museum to build “housing” (read: condo towers)? How about Roy Thomson Hall? Prime location!
2033 : Therme and Ontario Place will be sold dime-for-dollars to the owners of the 407.
Hopefully we will be rid of Ford and his corrupt govt, next election and this can be cancelled.
Good
Mindless move, it’s good where it is. Why wasting so much of tax payers $. We have enough land for housing else where
Conservatives are the very definition of AntiIntellectual, using any opportunity to dumb people down. The OSC should be expanded, more affordable, and easily accessible to everyone. Privatizing public property, health care, education, selloffs to his corporate friends?
I wonder if the same group at city hall would prefer to build the housing planed at the Science Centre at Ontario Place
Demolished for housing, there’s the line. Now, which one of Doug the thugs developer friend is getting the kick back to build condos. Was the deal brokered at the stag and doe?!
Outrageous vandalism and looting of Ontarios built and natural heritage. Build on the parking lots, leave the community (and Torontos) resource alone Greed knows no bounds. This must be stopped
horrendous.
It's in the way of the largest Islamic mosque in Canada...
Grow. Revamp. Refurbish. Innovate. Prosper. The world is passing us by as you cry and protest over antiques like my grandma. Antiques can also be restored and relocated. fordnation CityNewsTO
Where are the local counselors and MPs for the riding? Haven't heard a peep from them about lost of jobs surrounding OSC
Because STEM careers and the need for inspiration for the next generation has decreased?
Dougie is giving the current Science Centre location (on the new Crosstown line) to developer buddies, then moving them to a place without any transit whatsoever
Next time Toronto get out and vote
I wonder which of his “buddies” will get the contracts for all of these moves.?
Dougie's plan for all of Toronto
