"What I do as a person, as an architect, it's not so that it looks good on paper or in a magazine. It's not a statement of one's ego. It has to express democracy, equality, inclusion of all people, and social justice. If not, then architecture is a hollow sham."

- Raymond Moriyama

Reopening the visionary centre created by Raymond Moriyama, reimagined and renewed for continued public enjoyment is a priority for Save OSC.

Stay tuned for a future announcement about community meetings in April.

Paul Kortenaar, CEO of the Ontario Science Centre, highlighted the centre’s future potential, stating, β€œOur future home will bring science to life in an inclusive and playful way, where visitors, including teachers and students, can experience the wonder of science.”

John Carmichael reports to the Ontario govt as chair of the OSC board.

He is not independent.
He is accountable to Doug Ford.

He also received the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025, after he closed the #ontariosciencecentre

CEO Paul Kortenaar, John Carmichael, and OSC executives have already destroyed the Ontario Science Centre.

They will happily join Doug Ford and Stan Cho for demolition day, with jackhammers in hand.

Right, guys?

It is clear Raymond Moriyama was more then the architect of the OSC building.

He was a visionary founding father, celebrated and honoured by the Ontario Science Centre itself.

The soul of @OntScienceCtr torn down by Doug Ford, for πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ tourism.

Tourism, Tourism, Tourism.

Doug Ford's science centre is not for STEM education, or for Ontario families.

It is about extracting as much money from visiting American tourists, to put into the pockets of the premier's friends.

Meet the new science centre:

Lots and lots of walking, with a few exhibits in-between on the journey.

No public transit to the front door either.

Remember, Doug Ford knew he was going to close the Ontario Science Centre as early as 2020.

It took six years - until February 2026 - for Doug Ford to release a design for a new one.

No shovels in the ground yet either.

The latest Ontario Line rendering from Metrolinx shows the Science Centre surviving into the early 2030s.

Don't be fooled by fancy drawings!

Doug Ford wants the OSC torn down.

As our eastbound train pulled into β€œDon Valley Station,” we heard a young family, and separately an older couple, disparage Premier Ford for closing the OSC and for renaming the station.

Many, many people will never forget what Doug Ford did.
