A bizarre scene unfolded at the fountain next to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Thursday, when engineer, U of T professor, and inventor Steve Mann walked on water from inside of a clear plastic sphere.
Mann suffers from a disability stemming from a back injury, which requires access to bodies of water for him to carry out his prescribed physiotherapy exercises. "The authorities have blocked off access to Ontario Place which is home to downtown Toronto's only accessible beach, and also home to the only public boat launch ramp where I can get access to the lake," said Mann, adding that"Many of us believe our elected officials did not do enough to save Michael Hough Beach."
The loss of Michael Hough Beach to the Ontario Place redevelopment means that Toronto no longer has a public beach with wheelchair access that extends all the way to the water. Other beaches have wheelchair ramps, and boardwalks, but access to the water is limited in all cases.
