A design has been submitted to the city for Ontario Place. This is what it could look like:
In a statement, Minister of Infrastructure Kinga Surma called the application “an exciting milestone” while promising the changes will help bring “Ontario Place back to life.”
The design is being touted as being fully sustainable and accessible and includes 12 acres of freely accessible public space that will be available year round. “On a January day in the City of Toronto, when it's snowing sideways, and you think about the ability for a nurse coming off of a night shift, to have the opportunity for a couple of hours to go and sit and relax by the pool without having to pay for a trip to Mexico, that's pretty wonderful,” Mark Lawson of Therme Canada said.
The original proposal for Ontario Place included just eight acres of public space. Lawson said that through the public consultations, “the building got a little bit smaller and the park got bigger.”
