#WalkingTheCity A most enjoyable walk with Toronto’s best mayor, David Crombie. We spoke about Green Belt, Hwy 413, Tory-Ford, Ontario Place. Much to learn from David now and as of Oct. 24 in a #Toronto4Everyone. #VoteGil4Mayor. pic.twitter.com/nGD4sHz2wh

It’s going to be an interesting walk. Much of @OntarioPlace is closed off this weekend for a private event. That will be part of the story of course. https://t.co/dkaxmUc4Yq

It was nice - young David Crombie, former mayor, came by too. https://t.co/TaHbXQmtpe pic.twitter.com/ejKTeSOaKK

There's still time to save @OntarioPlace from the (frankly monstrous) plan the Ford government wants to implement. I spent the morning listening to former mayor David Crombie, @KGreenbergTO and @Penalosa_G talk about what parks are for: Are they for the people, or for profit? pic.twitter.com/TX8pN8RGfn

Great to see @ausmalik as we get underway at the @ONPlace4All walking tour of Ontario Place; let’s keep it public! @JohnLorinc kicks it off by walking us through the history after On Place getting shut down in 2012. Trillium Park was the first post closure effort. #onpoli #topoli pic.twitter.com/xJMyDUJjJW

#topoli #onpoli For those who attended our @OntarioPlace wander this am to discuss the impact of the @ThermeCanada @LiveNation plans, here is a useful resource on the plan, next steps, city role. Not a done deal, but council needs to hear from residents. https://t.co/pf1htZxE10 pic.twitter.com/r8PIy5ogqY

#topoli Gr8 to see several candidates seeking muni. office attend the @OntarioPlace wander that @shawnmicallef & I led this am. Too bad @JohnTory didn’t show, which is strange since he led a taskforce on OP revitalization in 2012. Next council needs to engage, not roll over. pic.twitter.com/32cgoO3Yj8

The walk was led by urban gurus @JohnLorinc and @shawnmicallef, both passionate defenders of preserving Ontario Place for the people. Read John here on the vital landscaping of the park -- just one reason it should be maintained in our climate emergency https://t.co/zDCt0Q7Fq9

Locked gates at Ontario Place. Closed all weekend because it’s a business, not a park. Pedestrians, runners, cyclists all turning back. Just saw a couple try to explain to their confused dog why they couldn’t go to the beach. pic.twitter.com/wrfGsCsnMh

What is the relationship between these large private buildings and the public space we enjoy at Ontario Place? We are outside more than ever and downtown is starved for park space. The William Davis trail is part of a larger trail network. #topoli #onpoli pic.twitter.com/TZQhB8RkD3
