This week, the provincial government abruptly, and permanently, closed the Ontario Science Centre over what it said were dangers posed by the stability of the concrete used in some of its roof panels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The fate of the building, which is integrated into a ravine in one of the city\u2019s inner suburbs, remains uncertain. But the provincial government, led by Premier Doug Ford, had said that the museum was being moved to a new, smaller building as part of its redevelopment of Ontario Place on the Lake Ontario shoreline. (Last month, I wrote about the backlash to the government\u2019s decision to effectively turn over the West Island of Ontario Place to an Austrian company that plans to build a spa.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The science center\u2019s closing led to protests demanding its <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/toronto\/ontario-science-centre-rally-1.7244064\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reopening<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/toronto\/ontario-science-centre-rally-1.7244064\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">repair<\/a> as well as <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/toronto.ctvnews.ca\/ontario-science-centre-had-other-options-than-rushed-closure-report-1.6939338\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">questions about the government\u2019s risk analysis<\/a> of the roof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But, more atypically, there were offers to assist in reviving the building, which had been neglected to the point where visitors had to be shuttled by bus to a back door rather than enter through its dramatic woodland bridge. The architectural firm that designed the building during the 1960s has offered to restore it <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/toronto\/science-centre-moriyama-teshima-architects-1.7248162\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">free of charge<\/a>. Geoffrey Hinton, one of the leading pioneers of artificial intelligence and a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cp24.com\/news\/godfather-of-ai-pledges-1-million-to-fix-ontario-science-centre-1.6943190\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pledged 1 million Canadian dollars<\/a> toward the repairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While its fate was never quite as uncertain as that of the Ontario Science Centre, four years ago the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ontario, slammed into a roadblock with its plan for a new building. The canoe museum wanted to replace the former outboard motor factory and offices that had been its home since 1998.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In early 2020, the project\u2019s future was bright. A <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.architectsjournal.co.uk\/news\/heneghan-pengs-canadian-canoe-museum-scuttled\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">global architectural competition<\/a> had produced a building that would be tucked into a hillside next to the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/parks.canada.ca\/lhn-nhs\/on\/trentsevern\/visit\/posteeclusage-lockstation\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lift locks<\/a>, a kind of boat elevator, of the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/parks.canada.ca\/lhn-nhs\/on\/trentsevern\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trent-Severn Waterway,<\/a> a canal, lake and river system linking Lakes Huron and Ontario. It had secured a lease with Parks Canada for the land and had raised most of the 65 million Canadian dollars needed for the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But then, a test found that the land was contaminated by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com\/news\/peterborough-region\/chemical-contamination-found-at-site-of-peterborough-s-new-canadian-canoe-museum\/article_9174b993-fd9e-583e-889b-9b165a84046a.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">an industrial solvent<\/a> that had leached down from a former clock factory at the top of the hill. That detection was despite an earlier analysis that showed the site was clean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">All this happened as the pandemic hit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAll of a sudden having to close the museum and finding out that the site was not feasible, it was devastating,\u201d Carolyn Hyslop, the museum\u2019s executive director, told me while standing on its new dock \u2014 which was naturally teeming with canoes. \u201cIt was really clear that if we didn\u2019t have a site to move this project to, we would lose it all together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About 9 million dollars had been spent on what was now nothing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But along with Jeremy Ward, the museum\u2019s curator, Ms. Hyslop did find a site later that year across from downtown Peterborough. And in May, a year later than the planned opening date of the original building, the $45 million, 65,000-square-foot project was ready and fully funded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As we walked through the new building, Mr. Ward emphasized that canoes are far from unique to Canada, which the exhibits highlight. But they are well suited to Canada\u2019s abundance of freshwater rivers and lakes. They were a vital form of transportation for Indigenous people, as were kayaks (which the museum also holds and displays). The first Europeans who moved into their traditional lands soon adopted and relied on them, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now they are closely associated with summer recreation in much of the country, particularly areas with lakeside cottages, camps, cabins or chalets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA Canadian is somebody who knows how to make love in a canoe,\u201d a 1973 magazine article quoted Pierre Berton as saying. Mr. Berton, an author and broadcaster, later denied making the quip but said he would gladly take credit for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hanging at the entrance to the museum\u2019s exhibition hall is a canoe with a built-in gramophone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The old museum was surrounded by dusty parking lots. The new building, in stark contrast, sits in a large bay known as Little Lake, which is ideally suited for paddling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of Mr. Ward\u2019s favorite boats, a Uqqurmiut kayak, was paddled by Aasivak Arnaquq-Baril, a member of the group that built it in<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>Iqaluit, during the grand opening flotilla for the museum. He then carried it dripping wet into the building and up to its exhibition space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The new museum has a single, high-ceilinged exhibition hall unlike the original in the office portion of the outboard motor plant, which created a mazelike space on several levels. Picture windows now show off its warehouse, where most of the collection of about 665 canoes and kayaks rests. In the former factory, they were hidden away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As before, the exhibition is a comprehensive overview of canoes, their place in Indigenous communities in Canada, how they brought Europeans around Canada, their varying forms of construction and their recreational and sporting uses. When I visited this month, not all of the exhibitions were fully installed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There is room in the new building to expand the collection. But like all museum curators, Mr. Ward regularly hears from people hoping to donate a prized possession that, in most cases, the museum neither needs nor desires.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI usually respond like this: \u2018We already have three of these in our collection, so you\u2019re better off to find an organization or a new owner who will love it as much as you do,\u2019\u201d he told me, surrounded by stacks of canoes. \u201cWhile we may not be able to take it or may think it\u2019s not interesting, you do have to be understanding that, to these people, this is a member of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"css-7ad88g e1mu4ftr0\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-b4a7c02\">Trans Canada<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">This section was compiled by Vjosa Isai, a reporter and researcher based in Toronto.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"css-1le37cb ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Celine Dion chronicles her experience with a rare and incurable neurological disorder in the new documentary \u201cI Am: Celine Dion.\u201d The Times\u2019s arts reporters conducted an interview with the director, Irene Taylor (this article contains spoilers), and reviewed the documentary.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">\u201cThe diva is back, just when we need her the most,\u201d Elamin Abdelmahmoud, a culture writer in Toronto, says in a guest essay about Ms. Dion\u2019s return.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">On the 50th anniversary of his defection from the Soviet Union, the ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov remembers the night he evaded K.G.B. agents after a performance with the Bolshoi Ballet troupe in Toronto and made it out in a getaway car.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Is that drink worth it to you?
