This is the view along Lake Shore Blvd - the destruction of Ontario Place hidden behind an ugly barricade. It now extends into Marilyn Bell Park.

Can a government shield its decisions from existing laws and court review, and is Ontario Place a protected “public trust”?

This is why we’re heading to the Supreme Court of Canada next week - we hope the court will strike down the law that Doug Ford’s government enacted to destroy Ontario Place because it is dangerously undemocratic.

It’s been two years since the Ford government destroyed Ontario Place West Island in the night - all to make space for a giant private spa for Therme Group. Shame on the companies still involved in this project!

Hundreds of trees ripped down - and the entire area is exempt from the Environmental Assessment Act under Doug Ford

This is why we fight for a different future for Ontario Place.

This is the fifth in a series of posts where we look at the big issues and questions around the Ontario Place development!

We invite you to comment and share your thoughts, as we build up to the Ontario Place Supreme Court Case and think about the future of Toronto’s public waterfront.

🗳️ Next month - it’s election time in Toronto!

We’re asking the candidates - will you stand up for the waterfront?

This is the fourth in a series of posts where we look at the big issues and questions around the Ontario Place development!

We invite you to comment and share your thoughts, as we build up to the Ontario Place Supreme Court Case and think about the future of Toronto’s public waterfront.

Today we’re looking east along the waterfront, where one park development shows us how we can do better for Ontario Place.

Biidaasige Park triumphantly opened last summer - years of remarkable advocacy and engineering have produced a spectacular vision in Toronto’s Port Lands. Have you visited yet, and what did you think?

Over on the west end at Ontario Place, the contrast could not be more striking. Trees were ripped down in the night, and a public landscape was levelled, exempt from environmental regulations, to prepare for a giant spa.

This is the third in a series of posts where we look at the big issues and questions around the Ontario Place development!

Over the next few months, we invite you to comment and share your thoughts, as we build up to the Ontario Place Supreme Court Case and think about the future of Toronto’s public waterfront.

Today we’re highlighting the very fact that questions surrounding the development have made it to the Supreme Court of Canada.

In just over a month, they will be hearing from a coalition (including us!) asking - are governments above their own laws? Can they be held accountable over treatment of public assets?

✍️ The lingering importance of public spaces | The Globe and Mail Editorial Board, Sept 4, 2026

A timely and important reminder of the critical necessity of intentional and meaningful public places.

“Public places are where citizens encounter one another. The Canadian urbanist Ken Greenberg has argued that shared public space helps “make democracy work” in diverse societies.”

Over the next few months, we invite you to comment and share your thoughts, as we build up to the Ontario Place Supreme Court Case and think about the future of Toronto’s public waterfront.

Today we’re outlining, in the simplest of terms, the defining factors of Ford’s Ontario Place development:

No public consultation.
No environmental assessments.
No finanical due diligence.
