It isn't hard to imagine "To Catch a Developer" being a real show in #Ontario

Maybe Doug Ford can guest star at the Ontario Science Centre he closed.

OSC exhibits are locked away in three government warehouses.

But this photo is just an IKEA.

Hair-raising:

The Ontario Science Centre opened 56 years ago today, on Sept 26, 1969.

A gift to Ontarians for Canada’s centennial, a radio signal from over 1.5 billion light-years away struck a circuit at the OSC to raise a curtain, opening it for all.

Doug Ford, age 4, could not stop the launch.

Moriyama’s OSC was designed as part of the larger, 180-acre conservation area, E.T. Seton Park.

Together, we can fully realize his vision of an inclusive meeting place for public education and recreation, whether one’s journey starts from the Don Valley Ravine or Don Mills Road.

The Royal Ontario Museum is modernizing, and expanding its historic home.

The government is not shrinking its size.
Not forcing it to abandon its community.

How much is it costing taxpayers to rent a large, ex-Nordstrom store for such a tiny science “experience?”

Cadillac Fairview and Ontario Teachers Pension Plan aren’t giving away space at CF Sherway Gardens for free.

Public money for private profit. Again.

Save OSC supports Flemingdon and Thorncliffe youth!

This summer, we provided financial support for TMU SciXchange and Go Green Youth Centre to launch a fun, two-day STEM Camp for emerging leaders in Flemingdon and Thorncliffe Park!

Thank you to our project partners!

The Save OSC team urges Ontario Science Centre management to provide accessible STEM programming for Flemingdon and Thorncliffe kids.

Don’t turn your back on the community that hosted, supported, and loved the OSC for 55 years.

“With the government's apparent focus on repurposing surplus schools across the province, and community colleges asking for new opportunities, it should have been easy for Ontario to find a partner to relaunch the OSC's esteemed Science School.”

Ontario Science Centre school cancelled for another year

The decision to shutter the school for another year comes as the Science Centre looks to find “a suitable temporary home.”
