So the Ontario government is said to have released its... updated proposal to relocate the science centre. They suggest it would be cheaper to relocate the institution.
I don't know if the government has internet (I don't, not really) but looking at the "infrastructure Ontario" web page the most-recent comments by Michael Lindsay are two weeks old. Other posted information dates back to March!

Anyway in case you missed it Olivia Chow's comments about inappropriate housing on the Science Centre land were still making headlines late Tuesday evening. And all through Wednesday morning!
It's funny how the proposed overbuild of inappropriate housing on the other side of the street is mentioned, like, never!
Ergo the east side of Don Mills Road, south of Eglinton Ave. E.
By the way there is or was a large City of Toronto sign either on the science centre land (or about 2.3 cm to the north of it) heralding skyscraper condos. It was there for most of this year (2023); I have pictures on file.
To my (arguably un-educated) eye it is also passing strange how the pond behind the proposed location suddenly dried up. When is a flood plain no longer a flood plain?

Wow, this story was still hot as recently as 24 hours ago!
