Ontario awarded nearly $1M to make case on moving science centre

Ontario Place in Toronto is shown on Friday, November 3, 2023. Ontario awarded nearly $1 million in contracts to various companies to write a business case on moving the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place on Toronto's waterfront, The Canadian Press has learned.

"There is more than enough evidence that the business case was nonsense and simply a justification to build a publicly funded mega parking lot for Therme." Stiles, Schreiner and many others have been fighting Therme's waterpark and spa planned for Ontario Place, and the business case suggested that relocating the Ontario Science Centre there from its current location in east Toronto could help temper that criticism.

The business case itself was "incomplete," the auditor general said, including not factoring in financing or incremental parking costs. "The cost of the business case was necessary to ensure an informed decision could be made regarding the future of the Ontario Science Centre and was conducted by leading experts with a history of reputable work in the industry," Ash Milton wrote in a statement.
