Technically a provincial treasure, but yeah. I have fond memories of going there as a kid.
This is what bothers me the most about the closure. It impacts many kids. Nearly every kid within 2-3 hrs of the center gets a chance to go on a field trip there. Now that will be taken away and their voices won't be heard, many won't even know what they are missing.
"National treasure" doesn't prescribe a jurisdiction.
Ford never had any intention to keep the science center, in its current location or ontario place. The roof was just the justification to bulldoze the site for the ~~sale~~lease.
This is the only way they could extract the value of the site and pass it on to wealthy donors.
