Ontario awarded nearly $1 million in contracts to various companies to write a business case on moving the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place on Toronto’s waterfront, The Canadian Press has learned.
“Spending a million dollars to cook up a sham business case is ridiculous beyond words,” NDP Leader Marit Stiles wrote in a statement. Stiles, Schreiner and many others have been fighting Therme’s waterpark and spa planned for Ontario Place, and the business case suggested that relocating the Ontario Science Centre there from its current location in east Toronto could help temper that criticism.
The report concluded that relocating the science centre from its current location to Ontario Place would save about $250 million over 50 years — largely because the new building will be half the size.Edmonton air traffic control playfully tries to ‘divert’ Florida Panthers’ flightSome frontline workers could soon become eligible for early retirement
The current science centre building is facing $369 million in deferred and critical maintenance needs over the next 20 years, the business case said.There have been 42 projects deemed “critical” since 2017 that haven’t been repaired, and of those projects, the science centre had asked for funding for seven of them at least three times in the past five years but was denied each time, the auditor wrote.
