Statement from Olivia Chow:
Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Deserve More, Not Less
Ripping the Ontario Science Centre out of the Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe neighbourhoods is the wrong choice. It is a precious space for local kids to gather, play and explore, and for parents to share the wonders of the world with their children. It is also a source of good local jobs in a community that is often left out of economic opportunity.

Olivia Chow launches mayoral campaign
TORONTO – Olivia Chow is running for mayor to build an affordable, safe and caring city, where everyone belongs.
“People in Toronto are feeling stuck. They’re stuck waiting for the bus, stuck in traffic or stuck on lists for housing, childcare and recreation programs. After a decade of conservative mayors, the city has become more expensive and less liveable for people,” said Chow.
“We can give in to fear and pessimism, or we can choose to channel our frustration into hope. We can open up city hall and work together to build a more caring, affordable and safer city.”
