Canada’s oldest municipal park is on track for a Weston-funded facelift, after an initial backlash over plans to introduce new buildings, a cafe and washrooms in the “green oasis.”
City staff have released a revised version of the concept plan for the Weston Foundation’s $93-million gift — the largest private donation ever to the municipality — to overhaul and maintain Queen’s Park North. It will include new tree-protection zones, requiring the city to either axe or scale back planned amenities and ensure more open lawn space.
