flag Ontario’s proposed law to control Toronto’s Exhibition Place for the 2029 redevelopment sparks conflict over provincial overreach and municipal authority.

flag The Ontario government, under Premier Doug Ford, is proposing legislation that could give it control over Toronto’s Exhibition Place as part of the $2.2-billion Ontario Place redevelopment, sparking concerns over provincial overreach. flag Critics, including city officials and NDP MPPs, allege the move would allow the province to bypass environmental and heritage laws and undermine municipal authority, calling it an "unconscionable land grab." flag The government denies taking over the site, saying the changes are a "backstop" to streamline construction and ensure timely progress on the 2029 project, which includes a mega-spa and waterpark. flag The city maintains Exhibition Place is vital for events and public access, and any shift in control would be challenged. flag The legislation remains under review, with public consultation ongoing.
