June 4th: Rally by the West Island Fence
Don’t Fence Me In (Ontario Place version)
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Let me swim through the wide open waters that I love,
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
Listen to the murmur of the cedar trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old paddle
Underneath Ontario skies.
On my paddleboard, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the pine trees rise.
I want to swim to the ridge where the west island commences
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
I can’t stand padlocks and I can’t stand fences
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old paddle
Underneath Ontario skies.
On my paddleboard, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the pine trees rise.
I want to swim to the ridge where the west island commences
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
I can’t stand padlocks and I can’t stand fences
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in. (Crowd) Don’t fence me in.

Walk Details: A 2.5-hour, 3 to 5 km circular walk over mostly paved, flat surfaces with a few gentle slopes
Walk Description: We will explore the West Island of Ontario Place and take in views of Lake Ontario. As Ontario Place is located on a migration route there is always the opportunity to see a wide variety of birds. As we walk around West Island we’ll discuss the impact of the proposed redevelopment plans – for West Island in particular – on nature and public access to this great area along our waterfront.
May 22: Ontario Place 50 + 2 Birthday Celebration & Rally
Check out a recording of our Ontario Place Birthday Rally! Thank you for making it such a success!
We would be honoured to have you join Ontario Place for All and Ontarians in a 50 + 2 anniversary celebration of Ontario Place on Monday May 22 (Victoria Day, May long weekend) from 1-4PM at Trillium Park.
We missed celebrating Ontario Place in person for its 50th birthday due to the pandemic, so this is a great opportunity to get together and celebrate its past, present and future! There will be speakers, music, activities for the entire family and more.
Look forward to celebrating with you!

Co-Chairs, Ontario Place for All
April 29th @ 8:30PM: A Wall Is a Screen: Toronto at Hot Docs
Since 2003, the Hamburg-based collective A Wall is a Screen has been transforming walls and other structures around the world into screens as part of its short film walks. Each film is chosen specifically for the site where it is to be projected and adds a layer to its surroundings. The audience follows the projection team from wall to wall, and thus from film to film. Supposedly familiar places in the city appear in a new light. Other sites, which perhaps never seemed to be suited for projection, suddenly light up in a completely new way.
For A Wall Is a Screen: Toronto at Hot Docs, Ontario Place was chosen as a very special site for this unique walk. Before it is transferred into something new, A Wall Is a Screen will show a selection of films inspired by the history, the present and maybe even the future of this iconic location.
