Supreme Court Hears Challenge of Law Clearing Path for Ontario Place Redevelopment
The Supreme Court of Canada is hearing arguments from Ontario Place Protectors, a coalition challenging the constitutionality of Ontario’s Rebuilding Ontario Place Act.
Ontario’s proposed redevelopment includes a private spa, a relocated Ontario Science Centre, improved recreational areas, parking, and a provincial police detachment.
Ontario Place Protectors argue that the law limits court oversight and may violate Section 96 of the Constitution.
The Crown and Ontario’s attorney general have asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the case.
