E.G. The proposed demolition of the Ontario Science Centre has been strongly condemned by prominent architectural organizations, including the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
Importantly, the OSC was deliberately situated in Flemingdon Park-Don Mills, away from downtown Toronto, and accessible by highways.
