Premier Doug Ford says the province will build a new community centre or school at the Ontario Science Centre site after the museum is moved from Don Mills to Ontario Place.
Striking a conciliatory tone after criticism of his relocation scheme, Ford promised to work with the city and even left the door open to retaining elements of the 1969 Raymond Moriyama-designed building.
The Progressive Conservatives are under fire for the planned move of the Science Centre and the repurposing of the site to build “affordable and attainable” housing. “That’s pretty typical when someone’s investing hundreds of millions of dollars. I want to make it very clear, there’s no public money in this deal. I’m going to repeat that no public money in this deal,” he insisted.
