In response to the Government of Ontario seeking international proposals to redevelop Ontario Place, the World Monuments Fund (WMF), John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto (Daniels Faculty), and Architectural Conservancy Ontario (ACO) have formed a coalition to protect the legacy of the Toronto landmark.

The Future of Ontario Place Project is an initiative that aims to safeguard the site?s landscape and built heritage from the threat of demolition and privatization. To foster broader public recognition, the coalition has launched the plan through a web portal and social media campaign.
The website is the first consolidated public resource on Ontario Place, and includes archival images, stories, and information from the general public. It also features interviews with architects and urbanists about the significance of the development. With a mission to influence the government?s decision to redevelop the site, and create a more open and productive dialogue between stakeholders, the project will additionally host a series of live debates on the current issues facing Ontario Place, facilitate an extensive letter writing campaign, and host a Canada-wide design challenge calling for alternative proposals for the site?s future.
