Toronto councillors warn First Parliament area not for sale as province seeks to seize historic site Trevor Dunn
The Doug Ford government s decision to expropriate downtown Toronto properties once home to Upper Canada s first parliament came as a surprise, city officials say prompting one councillor to insist the land is not for sale.
City staff were informed last week that the provincial government was starting expropriation proceedings for two city-owned parcels of land needed for the construction of the Ontario Line a rapid transit route projected to stretch more than 15 kilometres from the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place and the Canadian National Exhibition grounds.
