Ontario officials announced the abrupt and permanent closure of the science centre in late June , saying engineers found structural issues with the roof.

The move sparked outrage among workers, nearby residents and visitors and has become a political hot potato for Premier Doug Ford at Queen’s Park.

About 10 workers were laid out, while many others are worried where they’ll end up.

Next year will mark 25 years at the Ontario Science Centre .

Ward Kennedy can clearly remember his first visit to the science centre in 1970 , when he was six years old .

The iconic Canadarm and the fin whale skeleton were especially difficult to take down.

Kennedy said staff left a few big-ticket items behind, and he isn't sure why.
