was swift and mostly negative, with residents as well as their city councillor and several prominent mayoral candidates saying the Science Centre should stay put.
The area’s city councillor, Jon Burnside, said the provincial government failed to consult with him or any residents in Flemingdon or nearby Thorncliffe before deciding to rip out “a treasured gem” and community point of pride. “She’s going to be pretty sad because she does ask for it quite a bit,” Donnan said about his three-year-old daughter, adding that navigating downtown with young kids and a stroller can be tricky.
“Ripping the Ontario Science Centre out of the Don Valley without consultation is an insult to the thousands of families in Flemingdon Park, Thorncliffe Park, and other neighbouring communities who rely on this cultural hub for education, jobs, and community programming,” said Coun. Brad Bradford.
“It needs to be done right and I’m looking forward to working with the province to make sure that we get it right,” building 5,000 housing units on the site, 1,500 of them affordable, but maintaining the structure in the ravine, she said.

I wonder which donor Dougy is selling the land to?
Has anyone put a price tag on this move? That building has very specific design features to make it the Science Centre. What’s the cost of the rebuild? Can you even put more housing on that land as so much is ravine?
Isn’t the government doing this to free up land for housing?
But Doug is for the people... Not
Plus they suck… the Science Center is already in the perfect place, easy for families to get to.
New comers are going to pay $75 for a family of four? Think they have more important things to spend their money on.
dmrider Doug: Can you benefit me as much as *my* Developers?
I’d rather go to Jane and finch than Don mills and eglinton. I like the idea of making liberal voting ridings the highest density neighbourhoods. That’s what they want.

They voted for mass immigration, now they're getting it. Damn NIMBY's.
Bus strips can travel to Ontario Place too.
Everything is changing. I’m so scared.
Was wondering when we'd get the 'moving the science center is racist,' angle
