As a film fan, I am very distuurbed about the potential closing of the Queensway Cinemas.in south Etobicoke area in the west end of Toronto. There is a proposal to demolish the Queensway for yet another multi-tower condo complex. There is no indication that it will be replaced by another movie theatre or entertainment option. If the Queensway is destroyed by a wrecking ball, Etobicoke will lose another community hangout, a sense of neighbourhood. If we lose the Queensway, all that will be left is the Kingsway Theatre - one movie theatre to serve all of Etobicoke. The Kingsway is not large enough to serve this area. It only has only one theatre and a screening room.
Without the Queensway, many residents of Etobicoke will stay home and watch films on Netflix, abandoning a source of contact with others. Enough is enough! It's about time that people won a victory over unbridled development. It's time that a more value was placed on sense of community, rather than profit and greed. I am sick and tired of the rubber stamping of development over the needs of the community. People should come first. We should have some say in what happens to our neighbourhood.
