Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner claims that the abrupt closure of the Ontario Science Centre was a politically motivated decision by the Ford government, citing a recent city inspection that found no immediate dangers and that critical repairs had already been made. He questions why other significant buildings are maintained while the Science Centre is neglected, emphasizing its cultural and educational importance to the community. Schreiner argues that the Premier’s focus on privatizing Ontario Place undermines the value of the Science Centre, which benefits residents across the province.
