The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place:

1.  Received the report (November 24, 2022) from the Chief Executive Officer, Exhibition Place for information.

Malcolm MacKay from MetroLinx gave a presentation on Ontario Line Update.

Announced by the Province of Ontario in 2019, the proposed Ontario Line is one of four priority transit projects Metrolinx is leading for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The line will be the largest single expansion in Toronto’s subway history, helping to ease congestion on existing transit lines throughout the city, and bring transit to underserviced neighbourhoods.

The Ontario Line will bring 15.6 kilometres of much-needed subway service to Toronto to make moving around the city better, faster, and easier than it is today.

The line will stretch across the city, from the Ontario Science Centre in the northeast to Exhibition Place in the southwest.

The Ontario Line will have 15 stations including 6 interchange stations, and over 40 new connections to GO train services and existing subway, streetcar, and bus services.

Staff from Metrolinx will be attending the Board meeting of December 9, 2022 to do a power point presentation on the design and progress of the Ontario Line project for the benefit of the Board Members.
