The timeline for opening a permanent new Ontario Science Centre appears to have been delayed, with infrastructure officials telling the auditor general's office the centre is expected to be up and running in 2029.
appears to have been delayed, with infrastructure officials telling the auditor general's office the centre is expected to be up and running in 2029.
Jason Ash, co-chair of the group Save Ontario's Science Centre, said it's a shame that there will be no permanent Ontario Science Centre for at least an extra year. "Due to the request submitted by the Leader of the Official Opposition to the Integrity Commissioner on October 16th, 2024, Minister Kinga Surma has been asked not to comment and will respect the process at this time," Ash Milton wrote.
"This is yet another expensive project that nobody asked for – with a plan that no one is buying," Stiles wrote in a statement this week. The cost estimate for building and maintaining a new science centre at Ontario Place has increased by nearly $400 million from the government's spring 2023 business case for relocating it, the auditor said, meaning it will cost approximately $1.4 billion — higher than the $1.3-billion estimate for maintaining the attraction at its east Toronto location.
Ontario is planning to have a temporary science centre open in the interim, but has not provided any public updates on that process since it issued a request for proposals in June.
