Schreiner: New Ontario Place Renderings Reveal an Even Bigger Blunder

June 24, 2025

QUEEN'S PARK — Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner released the following statement in response to new Ontario Place renderings.

“The latest renderings reveal a vision for Ontario Place that is nothing short of nonsensical.

The Ford government has bulldozed a cherished urban forest and now plans to replace it with a massive $400 million parking garage – all to serve a luxury spa that Ontarians never asked for.

Ford is forcing through a project that makes no sense, especially when the site is just steps from the well-connected Exhibition GO Station and one of the future stops on the Ontario Line. Instead, this parking lot will usher in even more traffic, increasing congestion and adding to Toronto’s gridlock.

Ford’s deal with Therme locked the province into this deeply flawed plan, and now the people of Ontario are paying the price.

This is not revitalization. It is a reckless misuse of public land and a waste of money.”
