OPP Station Coming to Ontario Place Redevelopment

0:00The Ford government is beefing up security at Ontario Place with a brand new Ontario Provincial Police Station as part of the big redevelopment plush. They're putting up bids right now for a detachment on the East Island, right next to spots for a concert venue, science center, and that private spa, and water park. This setup will pack in marine officers, mounted horses, first time for any OPP unit and traffic cops, plus a helicopter pad to keep things tight. People say it'll help patrol the Gardener Expressway and Don Valley Parkway, especially since those highways are shifting from city to province, control, ensuring families stay safe amid the crowds. The whole Ontario Place revamp keeps rolling, with a thermace spa eyeing a 2030 opening and the science center by 2029, so expect more muscle on site as it all comes together.
