Confusion reigns over Ford’s Science Centre plan that includes conservation authority land
“Nothing can be built on our land there but it’s not just because of the TRCA, it’s also city and provincial policies, which is why we were confused when the province announced affordable housing on that land,” Tolensky said.
They jointly leased it to the Science Centre for 99 years, ending in 2064, in an agreement that allows for only the centre on the site and requires renegotiation for any other uses including housing, according to city officials, who already have plans for new housing on adjacent city-owned parking lots.
“We’re going to help you out with a new community centre and we’re going to help you with a new school, because they’re in desperate need of a school, I hear,” the premier said, adding elements of the landmark building might survive. “The Timbrell recreation centre across the street needs to be rebuilt and we’d love to partner with educational institutions, like Seneca College, to bring tech and other opportunities for kids,” Burnside said. “If there’s one thing the city needs is money and I’d love to see possibilities for children to learn.”
“The students up there, they’ve never experienced Ontario Place,” he said, motioning to a group of schoolchildren touring Queen’s Park.
