Great Op-Ed by Margaret Zeidler in the Globe and Mail today. The article criticizes the Government’s plans for replacing an iconic symbol of Ontario with a placeless corporate vision that fails to highlight the province. Margaret Zeidler is the creator of 401 Richmond, an…

Bridge leading to Ontario Place artificial islands. The Provincial Government’s proposal is not clear at all about the faith of the infrastructure designed by Zeidler. Not only was the bidding process led behind closed doors with no input from the public, but the scheme pr…

Piece by John Notten ‘Over Floe’ is now on view at Ontario Place.

Proposed enclosed water park and spa for Ontario Place, revealed on July 30th 2021. How is this program suited to the current pandemic situation, and its probable long term effects? How is this proposal suited to Toronto’s cold climate: how much infrastructure abd energy…
