中英对照:Ontario Place的改建必须有市民的参与

Redevelopment of Ontario Place must involve the participation of citizens

在与多伦多市政府进行了几个月的谈判后,安省政府就Ontario Place的改建做出了重大承诺,包括保证不会单方面搞改建,开发会与隔壁Exhibition Place的改建协调,同时减少湖滨大道的屏障效应,承认Ontario Place的主要遗产和公共空间;并承诺对其改建之前要与市民进行接触和协商。
 
The Ontario Government, after months of negotiations with the City of Toronto staff, made significant commitments related to its Call for Development process on the future of Ontario Place. These include a guarantee to not push through plans unilaterally; a commitment to coordination with next-door Exhibition Place alongside reducing the barrier effect of Lake Shore Boulevard; recognition of the major heritage and public space resources at Ontario Place; and a commitment to engagement and consultation with the public as a necessary step going forward.

今年6月,多伦多市议会通过了关于Ontario Place和Exhibition Place未来的“改建前提”动议。该动议强调这两个地方所拥有的文化遗产的重要性,要求省政府立即就其改建方案听取市民意见。该动议还要求市府派专人参与听取市民对开发的意见。
 
In June this year, Toronto City Council approved the “Terms of Reference” on the future of Ontario Place and Exhibition Place. This motion prioritizes the heritage significance of the site, and the need for immediate and robust public engagement by the Province on the development process. The motion also directed City staff to undertake public engagement on matters under municipal jurisdiction.

许多新移民并不熟悉Ontario Place和Exhibition Place的历史和它们对多伦多的意义。Ontario Place位于多伦多市中心的湖滨,占地 155 英亩。它是多伦多和安省重要的公共资产。
 
Many newcomers to the City of Toronto are not familiar with Ontario Place and Exhibition Place and their history and significance to the City. Ontario Place comprises 155 acres of public land on the waterfront, in the heart of Toronto. It is a critical public asset for our whole city and province.
 
Ontario Place是一个娱乐场所和公园,被安大略湖湖滨、Exhibition Place和多伦多市中心围绕,其中有三个人工景观岛。它于 1971 年 5 月 22 日开业,是一个以安大略为主题和家庭游乐为中心的主题公园。2012 年,当时执政的安省自由党政府宣布对其改建。从那以后,Ontario Place变成了一个无需门票的公园,但没有啥景点。目前执政的安省保守党政府正在考虑对其进行改建。
 
Ontario Place is an entertainment venue, event venue, and park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The venue is located on three artificial landscaped islands just off-shore in Lake Ontario, south of Exhibition Place, and southwest of Downtown Toronto. It opened on May 22, 1971, and operated as a theme park centred around Ontario themes and family attractions until 2012 when the then Liberal Government of Ontario announced that it would close for redevelopment. It has since reopened as a park without admission but without several of the old attractions. The Conservative Government of Ontario is currently considering further redevelopment of the site.
 
Ontario Place在1971 年至 2011 年的夏季开放。最初旨在通过展览和娱乐宣传安大略省。随着时间的推移,它变成了以水上、儿童为主的家庭主题公园。
 
The Ontario Place theme park operated annually during the summer months from 1971 until 2011. Designed originally to promote the Province of Ontario through exhibits and entertainment, its focus changed over time to be that of a theme park for families with a water park, a children's play area, and amusement rides.
 
多年来,Ontario Place中的五个金属吊舱展厅不对公众开放,成为私人举办活动的场所。音乐舞台在早年一直是Ontario Place吸引人的地方,著名艺术家在那表演不收门票。它是一个圆形剧场,四面都有座位,舞台为圆形伸缩舞台,每个座位到舞台的距离都一样,观众可以随便坐。 
 
Over the years, exhibits in the five steel and aluminum pavilion pods were discontinued and the pods became a venue for private events. The Forum concert stage had long been a primary draw to Ontario Place in its early years as it offered free concerts by a wide variety of prominent artists, for free with the price of admission to the park. Structured as a true amphitheatre with seating on all sides and a recessed stage that was round and revolved during concerts, all seats offered an equal view of the stage and were offered on a first come first served basis.

十几岁的时候,我在此剧场度过了许多晚上。1990 年代,剧场被拆除,取而代之的是一个新的圆形剧场,最终命名为百威(啤酒公司)舞台。由于观众人数不断下降,安省政府在 2011 夏季结束后关闭了所有设施,只留下剧场和码头。
 
I spent many nights at the Forum attending concerts during my teenage years. In the 1990s, the Forum was torn down and replaced by a new Amphitheatre eventually named the Budweiser Stage.. After a long period of declining attendance, the Government of Ontario closed the facility except for its music venue and marina after the 2011 season.
 
自那以后,Ontario Place的部分设施进行了重建。 “百威舞台”在夏季开放。IMAX 影院的前身Cinesphere在那里开电影院。在Ontario Place东面,延龄草公园和威廉戴维斯小径于 2017 年开放。由三艘沉没的货轮围起来的游艇码头在夏季供人使用。但几个吊在湖面上的展览“吊舱”却一直没开。
 
Since the closure as a theme park, several of the venue's facilities have remained open, and one section was redeveloped. The “Budweiser Stage” operates during the summer season. The Cinesphere, the original IMAX theatre, reopened with new projection equipment and shows films regularly. On the East Island, Trillium Park and the William Davis Trail opened in 2017. A marina, sheltered by three sunken lake freighters operates seasonally at the site. The exhibit "pods", several pavilions suspended above a lagoon, have remained closed.
 
当邀请国际开发商提交他们对 Ontario Place 改建的想法时,安省政府并没有咨询多伦多市府。多伦多与Ontario Place利益相关,拥有旁边的Exhibition Place。Exhibition Place占地 192 英亩,也面临改建的挑战。安省政府打算在不掏一分钱的情况下,把Ontario Place改建成一个“世界级全年开放”的地方,其中可能包括体育和娱乐中心、公共场所、公园和零售。
 
When the Ontario government asked international developers to submit their ideas for the development of Ontario Place, it did not initially ask the city, which has a significant interest in Ontario Place — and owns neighbouring Exhibition Place, another 192 acres that are also in need of revitalization. The Ontario Government simply came out with a target for “a world-class year-round destination” that could include sport and entertainment landmarks, public spaces and parks, recreational facilities, as well as retail and that it could not cost the province anything.
 
一年半以来,安省政府一直将各个开发商提交的方案保密。现在该是亮牌的时候了。省长福特去年夏天称多伦多将在重建中拥有主要发言权。这一地区的改建需要省府与多伦多市政府进行真正的合作,以协调Ontario Place与旁边的Exhibition Place改建和连接,最大限度地发挥两个地点的潜力。单独改建Ontario Place是没有意义的。
 
It is time for the Ontario Government to release all the developer proposals the province has been keeping under wraps for more than a year and half now. After all, Premier Doug Ford claimed last summer that Toronto would have a major say in the redevelopment. There also needs to be real collaboration with the city to coordinate improvements and connections between Ontario Place and its neighbour attraction Exhibition Place to maximize the potential of both sites. It makes no sense to redevelop one in isolation from the other.
 
在改建过程中,市民应该有发言权。通过合作、参与和开放,我们可以让改建的Ontario Place,这个著名的安省地标还给市民使用。
 
People should have an active voice in this process. With collaboration, engagement, and openness, we can renew Ontario Place and return this Ontario landmark to public use.
