On March 21st and 23rd following sold out screenings at TIFF24 and other fantastic film festivals Your Tomorrow (the Ontario Place documentary) comes to YouTube and TV.

When it first opened in 1971, Ontario Place was designed to reflect all that the citizens of Ontario (and Canada) embodied:
our heritage,
our diversity,
our creativity and
our future potential.

Your Tomorrow comes from the following phrase from an 1969 Ontario Place promotional brochure for the theme park, built on four islands made of reclaimed land on Lake Ontario:

“Ontario Place is a mirror to show you yourself. Your heritage. Your land. Your work. Your creativity. And your tomorrow.”

Ontario Place was hope and civic pride but as a symbol it mirrors Detroit’s car factories with those industrious assembly lines. That was then…this is now.

The honest truth is…we simply stopped going to a lot of these places.

Yes, record stores struggled as music went online…but vinyl also came back. We stopped going.

Honest Ed’s struggled because we enjoyed the cheapness of the dollar store and the gentle convenience of Amazon Prime shipping. We stopped going.

By 2012 Ontario Place was closed by the Government of Ontario after years of diminishing attendance and revenue. We stopped going.

(Think about it…if you have kids in the last 20 years or so…did you ever consider taking em to Ontario Place? You took kids to Canada’s Wonderland, Great Wolf Lodge, the Islands…there’s a distinct generation that has never experienced Ontario Place. Or Honest Ed’s.)

That’s why Ontario Place is not a Doug Ford issue. Ford was first elected in 2018. Most certainly, Ford is an issue in the future but he’s not the primary reason why Ontario Place closed in 2012. This is an us problem. We stopped going.

We made choices along the way.
Maybe we believed these locations would be around forever.
Maybe they were mismanaged.
Maybe everything isn’t meant to last forever but just for a season or two.
All valid.

So is the simple truth: we stopped going.

Your Tomorrow silently captures Ontario Place in this limbo phase…stuck between a bright past and murky future.

Imagine the meditative calm before a neighborhood experiences life-altering gentrification.

March 21: Your Tomorrow streams on the TVO Docs YouTube channel and the TVO website (across Canada).
March 23: 9:00 p.m. – TVO Channel: Your Tomorrow (Broadcast Premiere; Ontario only)

That is a lot of TV for March, 2025! Whew.

MLB’s Opening Day is Thursday, March 27. Who shall stand and who shall fall? Will the Dodgers repeat?
