Construction at Ontario Place can now continue following a decision by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to uphold the Rebuilding Ontario Place Act.
The decision, released Friday, dismissed a legal challenge by Ontario Place Protectors, who argued that the provincial act was unconstitutional.
The act gives the government special powers to expedite the redevelopment of the site, including an exemption from the Environmental Assessment Act.
Ontario Place Protectors were granted a one-day hearing on July 19 and the province previously agreed to pause some work at the site pending the court’s decision on the matter.
The province has not yet publicly commented on the decision.
