People power delays Ontario Place destruction

July 15, 2024

TORONTO — Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy released the following statement in response to news that the Ontario Place Protectors coalition has successfully halted the further demolition of trees, shrubs or buildings at Ontario Place until its case is heard by Ontario’s Superior Court on July 19.

“This is a milestone in the fight to save Ontario Place, and an important reminder that people power works.

Ontarians are going to keep fighting tooth and nail to stop the megaspa and keep Ontario Place public for many generations to come, and Greens will be right there with them.

People power won us the Greenbelt, and it’s going to win us Ontario Place.”
