Doug Ford wants to reduce the heat on the controversy of the moment: the proposal by Austrian company Therme to build a waterpark on the West Island of Ontario Place
Fifty years ago, Ontario built fanciful and lavish sites of knowledge and culture: the sparkling waterfront landscape of Ontario Place, and the concrete caves of the Ontario Science Centre. If you grew up in Southern Ontario, you have magical memories of these places.The Ford government announced a plan on Tuesday to move the science centre to the waterfront at Ontario Place.
But the Ontario Science Centre news doesn’t change the Therme plan. It keeps the new spa in place – still huge, closed-off and ugly. Full credit to local architects Diamond Schmitt and planners Urban Strategies. Provincial officials at Tuesday’s media conference announcing the plan claimed that the building needs a lot of repairs, and the province doesn’t want to pay. The Premier implied that it would be demolished – though no firm plans were stated.
But Mr. Ford would concentrate more jobs, spending and tourist activity – all of it heavily car-oriented – in the downtown. Does this make any sense? Will tourists want to visit a waterpark before a concert and after the science museum?
