Description

Opened in 1971, Ontario Place was a project seeking to revitalize Toronto’s waterfront by creating a large urban park on a previously neglected segment of the shoreline. This multi award-winning project consists of 90 acres of man-made islands and lagoons, with the centerpiece of the complex being the five exhibition pavilions suspended high above the water and the world’s first permanent IMAX theatre – the Cinesphere. Ontario Place is part of Toronto’s history and a testament to a vision about its future – so the question now is, how do we continue to build upon this site’s remarkable legacy?

Join us for this special panel discussion that will convene a range of experts to discuss the important architecture and landscape design heritage of Ontario Place and how all Ontarians will benefit if we continue to build upon the site’s valuable cultural heritage legacy.

The evening will begin with the screening of footage of Ontario Place from the Retrontario archive, including rare footage recently transferred from 16m film.

Panelists:

  • Michael McClelland, Architect, Heritage Planner and Founding Partner, ERA Architects

  • Carolyn King, Moccasin Identifier Project, Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation

  • George Baird, Architect and Partner, Baird Sampson Neuert Architects

  • Philip Hastings, Architect and Partner, Gow Hastings Architects

  • Moderator: Annabel Vaughan, Intern Architect, Project Manager ERA Architects, and principal publicLAB
