TORONTO — A new City of Toronto report says that the province's lease for the Ontario Science Centre building allows the city to end the agreement early and leave Ontario on the hook for demolition costs if the building is no longer fit for use.
TORONTO — A new City of Toronto report says that the province's lease for the Ontario Science Centre building allows the city to end the agreement early and leave Ontario on the hook for demolition costs if the building is no longer fit for use.
The city and its conservation authority leased the land to the province in 1965 for 99 years, and the staff report says that while a science centre is the only permitted use for the site under the lease, it doesn't require Ontario to operate one.
