PRESS RELEASE: Ontario Place for All Expresses Disappointment and Concern after Motion Quashed by Superior Court of Justice
This morning Ontario Place for All’s application, seeking to have the government follow its own laws and conduct an Environmental Assessment of the planned obliteration of West Island, was quashed by the Divisional Court. We are in the process of reviewing the decision to decide on next steps.
“I’m disappointed that the Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, which was brought to the legislature seemingly in response to our legal action, was used as the basis to quash our action”, noted Ontario Place for All Co-Chair Norm Di Pasquale “This bill which aims to strip all rights and protections from Ontario Place sets a terrible precedent for the future of Ontario’s Public Institutions.”
Ontario Place for All is now extremely concerned about the future of the 850 mature trees at Ontario Place and the potential obliteration of West Island. This bill that strips away Ontarian’s rights and protections must be fought to protect the future of Ontario Place as well as the Ontario public institutions that form the basis of our cultural identity as Ontarians.
