The provincial government has chosen three private "partners" to revitalize Ontario Place, but it did so without public consultation and seemingly without a plan for Ontario Place as a whole, and without reference to the revitalization of the rest of the Toronto waterfront. Inspired by Ken Greenberg's talk at our recent Speaker Series event 'What's Happening at Ontario Place?', our letter to the Premier of Ontario suggests that three-government agency Waterfront Toronto should run Ontario Place revitalization.
Join us on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 (a week later if bad weather) for a walk with City Waterfront Secretariat Director David Stonehouse. We'll be touring Corktown Common, Oowemin Minesing, then along the water to Sugar Beach. David will talk about the past, present and future of the Eastern Waterfront. It's around 3 or 4 kilometres. Bring water and maybe a hat if it's sunny.
Thanks to all who attended our AGM on March 10, 2025.
