City council voted unanimously to add Ontario Place to Toronto’s Heritage Register while working towards planning for its future with the provincial government.
At Tuesday’s meeting at city hall, councillors voted 25-0 in favour of a recommendation to reach out to the Ontario government and “jointly plan” for the future of the 155-acre site.
The province launched a request for proposals process for the site’s development in January and on the website for that process, the Ontario government identifies areas for development as the Ontario Place islands, the adjacent mainland, the pods and the Cinesphere. “What concerns me about the province is that they have put out to the world submit us your proposals without any criteria,” Spadina-Fort York Coun. Joe Cressy, whose ward includes the grounds of Ontario Place, said earlier this year.
