So much for Ford’s Science Centre jobs promise

June 26, 2024

KITCHENER — Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy released the following statement in response to news that more than 50 food service workers will be laid off from the Ontario Science Centre over the next few days.

“This is exactly what we’ve feared would happen all along.

Remember last year, when the Premier reassured us that workers at the current Science Centre would keep their jobs regardless of his disastrous relocation scheme? So much for that.

This is a classic move out of the Conservative playbook: delay repairs, disregard the public good and disrespect the workers who show up every day to serve the people of Ontario.

The Premier just doesn’t get it, and Ontarians won’t stand for it. We’re going to keep fighting to repair and reopen the Science Centre so it can continue to provide jobs, programming and lifelong memories for the people of Don Valley and Ontario as a whole.”
