The Canada Life parking lot sprawls over 25,000 square metres — big enough to fit two Canada Life Centres, or the entire footprint of all four towers at Portage & Main.
Before it was flattened in 1956, this block supported an indoor skating rink, an amphitheatre, and even Osborne Stadium, a cultural and recreational hub right in the city’s core.
Now? It sits barren and broiling for 16 hours a day, sucking up heat and whispering sweet nothings to climate change.
