More than 137 trees...gone!

12/10/2023

Photo from arborist report compared to photo taken 12/10/2023. Note the red scars where trees once stood.

After receiving the unsettling video of the decimation of a mature tree near the east parking lot yesterday, we came early this morning to evaluate the situation and, to our dismay, discovered at least 137 trees had been removed, which confirms our fear that tree-cutting has begun in earnest. The photograph above is one of many showing the loss of trees in various sections of the mainland parking lots.

We urge all advocates for Ontario Place to organize an immediate public demonstration to convey our outrage. We must act now. Stay tuned to these pages for updates.

Note: We have adjusted the number of trees cut down from 50 to 137 after a careful review of additional photography

Is anyone willing to join me in chaining themselves to a tree? It’ll be more effective with more than 1…tomorrow will be sunny. 😉

This is sickening. We are in a climate crisis, no one that lives here wants this.
I have been at Ontario Place every day for 4 years and its beauty is unsurpassed anywhere in our city.

It had offered us a sense of hope to see nature flourish in the midst of a world in so much difficulty.

It's hard to find the words to express the disgust I have for the Corporate greed that devastated the home of our wildlife and for what?
Mega Profits for whomever is benefitting for these backroom deals with OUR natural resources.

Absolutely criminal actions.
No rules at all for this government

This government needs to be held to account for its corruption and blatant disregard for the people it is supposed to serve.
