The Ontario Science Centre lays off its entire science department, eliminating 30 positions, as part of a restructuring plan. City News Toronto reports that the layoffs include all workers in the science department.
The Globe and Mail adds that the broader context is the provincial government’s plan to build a new $1-billion science centre at Ontario Place. The restructuring at the current facility is presented as connected to this larger development, though the two reports emphasize different aspects: City News Toronto focuses on the immediate workforce impacts, while the Globe and Mail places the layoffs within the long-term plan for a new centre at Ontario Place.
While both outlets describe the layoffs and the restructuring connection, they differ mainly in emphasis rather than the core facts: both indicate the science department is fully laid off and that the government’s Ontario Place project is central to the background.
