A grassroots organization is hoping to change the conversations surrounding the future of Ontario place by creating an alternative plan they hope the Ford government will consider.“We’ve come out with a vision that really links Ontario Place at one end of the Ontario Line, with the Ontario Science Centre at the other end of the Ontario Line,” said Ken Greenberg, Ontario Place for All steering committee member. “It’d really be a missed opportunity if we suddenly filled it with private attractions, with steep paywalls, that have nothing to do with Ontario. ” The plan from advocacy group Ontario Place for All would not include the proposed private, mega spa which is expected to be located on the West Island of Ontario Place. The province has signed a nearly century-long deal with luxury operator Therme Group for the creation of the multi-million-dollar new attraction.

The strike by the Writers Guild of America has left the storied awards show honoring the best of musical theater and plays to rely on spontaneity in a new venue far from the theater district. Before the pre-show began, DeBose revealed to the audience the only words that will be seen on the teleprompter: “Please wrap up.” Later in the evening, virtually out of breath after her wordless performance, she thanked the labor organizers for allowing a compromise.“I’m live and unscripted. You’re welcome,” she said. “So to anyone who may have tho...
