The redesigned concert venue at Ontario Place will be accessible year-round, the government also announced on Thursday
This article originally appeared on The Trillium, a Village Media website devoted exclusively to covering provincial politics at Queen’s Park.Premier Doug Ford announced on Tuesday that the Ontario Science Centre will be relocated to Ontario Place, which will also be home to a new all-season concert venue.
Construction of a new Ontario Science Centre at Ontario Place will begin in 2025, Tourism, Culture and Sport Minister Neil Lumsden said at the announcement at the site on Toronto’s waterfront on Thursday. NDP MPPs Chris Glover and Bhutila Karpoche, who both represent Toronto ridings, called the Ford government’s plan to move the Ontario Science Centre “out of touch.”
Controversially, the Ford government has also agreed to let the Canadian arm of the Austria-based Therme Group build a private spa and waterpark at Ontario Place as well. Therme's spa and waterpark would supplant a public park on the west island. Infrastructure Minister Kinga Surma said the government hasn’t yet decided how it’ll price any new parking but that it wants to “make the site as accessible for everyone so that they can come and have a wonderful day with their family.”
