Between 2021 and 2023 architectural and documentary photographer Steven Evans trained his eye and camera on Ontario Place as plans for its future were unfolding. That work culminated in his book As It Is: A Precarious Moment in the Life of Ontario Place. On October 31, 2024, Evans returned to Ontario Place after hundreds trees were destroyed and removed from the site and as bulldozers began working the landscaping and buildings. This is what he found. – Shawn Micallef

Seeing the photos of Ontario Place destroyed like that is like seeing a dear old friend in Emerg, after being rescued from a head on collision.
