The Ontario Science Centre is set to launch two temporary satellite locations in other parts of Toronto, which could let visitors access some of its interactive exhibits while a full interim location remains at least a year away, CTV News has learned.
The two sites, which are in Etobicoke’s Sherway Gardens and the Harbourfront Centre on Queens Quay West, would amount to less than a quarter of the exhibit space in the building on Don Mills Road that was dramatically shut down in June.
The exhibits have been wrapped up, and many are headed for storage in Guelph, according to photos that show the labels of their destinations. Provincial officials are hunting for a formal interim space, expected to open in 2026. The planned final location for the Ontario Science Centre is on Toronto’s waterfront at Ontario Place, which would open years after that.
The company is also expected to provide a portion of maintenance payments, which over the term of the lease are expected to add up to $855 million. “When NFL teams are looking for stadiums getting built in communities, when you’re looking for Major League Baseball teams, this is the same thing you’re seeing,” Smith said in an interview.
The owners of a North York condominium say they are facing a $70,000 special assessment to fix their building's parking garage. '$70,000 is a lot of money. It makes me very nervous and stressed out of nowhere for this huge debt to come in,' said Ligeng Guo.
