Ontario Line Subway Contract Awarded
The Ontario Government announced yesterday that Toronto’s new Ontario Line subway contract has been awarded to Connect 6ix. Work is to begin in 2023 and expected to be completed in 2031.
The Ontario Line will be a 15.6-kilometre new rapid transit line running between the Ontario Science Centre and Exhibition/Ontario Place in Toronto, with 15 stations, including six interchange stations.

- The 15-stop Ontario Line will extend 15.6-kilometres from Exhibition/Ontario Place to the Ontario Science Centre and will offer more than 40 transit connections to other subway, bus, streetcar, light-rail transit and regional rail services, linking communities from east to west, north to south.
- The Province also released a sample of the subway train renderings prepared by Connect 6ix, showing early-concept designs that will be finalized after further consultation with municipal partners and communities.
- The trains will be packed with the latest technology and feature onboard Wi-Fi, digital passenger information screens, charging points, dedicated spaces for bicycles, double wheelchair areas, and continuous, connected carriages.
- On November 9, 2022, the Province awarded the South contract, which includes a six-kilometre twin-bore tunnel, as well as four new underground stations (King-Bathurst, Queen-Spadina, Moss Park, Corktown), two underground stations that will integrate with the existing Osgoode and Queen TTC subway stations, and one above-ground station that will integrate with the existing Exhibition GO Station served by the Lakeshore West line.
- Early works construction for the Ontario Line is already underway at Exhibition Station, at the site of the future Corktown and Moss Park stations, and in the joint corridor west of the Don River.
- By 2041, the Ontario Line will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 14,000 tonnes annually and cut overall fuel consumption by more than 7 million litres a year – the equivalent to nearly 120,000 fill ups at the pump.
- Improving public transit is vital to supporting Ontario’s economic development and recovery. Every $1 billion invested in transit helps support 10,000 jobs and boosts Ontario’s real GDP by another $1 billion.
Below are concept renderings for the subway and station.

Halloween in Leslieville 2022
Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween this year. Below are a few of pics from last night. My youngest and I by The Rail Garden for a haunted tour and one from Woodfield Ave that was closed to traffic for the night where the little ghosts and goblins were out in full force.
