New fencing around Ontario Place is raising fresh worries for those concerned about the redevelopment of the site.
Large wooden fences appeared around sections of Ontario Place within the past week, leading some on social media to wonder whether the government is trying to “hide” its activities on the west island.
“To protect the health and safety of workers and visitors, we have closed portions of the site, effective Monday October 30,” the statement read. “At this time, Trillium Park, Budweiser Stage for Live Nation events, and a portion of the parking lots will remain open, in addition to the West Island for pedestrian use.”
“It's definitely not too late. Really all they've done right now is put up wooden fencing and there's not much work happening behind that wooden fencing,” Di Pasquale said. “I question whether or not that wooden fencing is to keep us out in case they decide to start cutting down trees, which they said they're going to do imminently. So really all they've done is they’re sort of fortifying the construction area, but there's no shovels in the ground, as it were.
“You know, this Ontario government has reversed course on the Greenbelt, on changes to municipal boundaries, and there's still plenty of time to reverse course here,” he said. “The development application for the mega-spa is also still at city hall and they haven't even voted on whether or not this development application for the mega-spa should proceed. So for the provincial government to be moving forward with any sort of steps is absolutely premature.”e instead.
