Toronto, Jan 18, 2019 – Ontario Place For All [https://www.ontarioplaceforall.com/] is calling on the Ontario government to put its redevelopment plans for the lakefront park on hold.
The Ontario Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports announced today the government is interested in turning Ontario Place into an “attraction that could include exciting sport and entertainment landmarks, public spaces or shopping.” Michael Tibollo said the areas open for redevelopment include “the Ontario Place Islands, mainland, pods and the Cinesphere.”
Toronto is Canada's largest City but one of its smallest ports by volume of cargo. The Toronto Port Authority, also known as Ports Toronto, is a federal government entity, not accountable to Toronto's city government or to anyone. It operates the Island Airport, and owns has incredibly valuable landholdings around our waterfront. Should it be reformed to be accountable to the people of Toronto? We think so. A Ports Modernization Review was commenced by the federal Minister of Transport in 2018. Read Waterfront for All's submission to the Ports Modernization Review here.
Over the past years, Toronto’s residents had to push back against several wrong-headed development proposals for their waterfront: Ferris wheels, mega-casinos, and jets. With these fights hopefully behind us, it’s time to re-focus on continuing the renewal of our waterfront.
