On February 19, members of the public are invited to join the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) and the Toronto Society of Architects (TSA) for a 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.
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.
