Toronto city council's executive committee has voted to explore the possibility of relocating the proposed Therme Canada spa and water park to the Exhibition Place grounds. A feasibility study will be conducted to assess the viability of the alternate site.
City staff will look at whether Exhibition Place grounds could be an alternate site for a massive spa and water park proposed for Ontario Place, a city council committee has decided.City staff will look at whether Exhibition Place grounds could be an alternate site for a massive spa and indoor water park proposed for Ontario Place, a city council committee has decided.
The Canadian National Exhibition Association, however, is opposed to the idea of a feasibility study and to a relocation of the spa and water park on its grounds, calling it a "defective concept." "Exhibition Place may benefit from and provide an improved location for this use due to factors such as proximity to transit, hotel accommodations, parking, existing servicing and other infrastructure," she continued.
Malik said city staff have major concerns about the project, including the scale of the water park, the filling in of an area of Lake Ontario and the impact of an underground parking facility. She said the matter needs further study and alternate sites have been suggested.
