Infrastructure Ontario, on behalf of the Ministry of Infrastructure (MOI), undertook a Category C Public Work Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the future public spaces and parkland (the public realm) at Ontario Place. As a result of the Category C EA process, a preferred design for the site’s future public realm was developed in consultation with all the stakeholders. A draft Environmental Study Report (ESR) was posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario and on www.EngageOntarioPlace.ca for a 60-day comment period, from July 4 to September 2, 2023.
The ESR documents the planning, design, and consultation steps that were completed as part of the Class EA process, as well as presents the preferred design for the public realm. The redevelopment of the public realm at Ontario Place has been carried out in accordance with the Category C Public Work Class EA process, which is an approved planning process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
