The Supreme Court of Canada will hear an appeal from the Ontario Place Protectors coalition, which is challenging the constitutionality of the Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, aimed at redeveloping the urban park on Toronto’s waterfront. The coalition argues that the legislation violates the Constitution by shielding state actions from court scrutiny and breaches public trust by exempting the redevelopment from environmental and heritage laws. A lower court dismissed their challenge, and their appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal was also unsuccessful. The case now seeks a ruling from the Supreme Court on these constitutional issues.
