The Ontario government has released the terms of its 95-year lease with European company Therme for the spa and waterpark it plans to build at Ontario Place, and it shows the province has promised 1,600 parking spaces for the private facility.

An auditor general report last year suggested Ontario's obligations to provide parking for Therme factored in to its decision to relocate the Ontario Science Centre to the redeveloped waterfront Ontario Place attraction. It also shows that if the government doesn't meet its parking obligations, it will have to pay Therme $5 per parking space per day once the facility is open.
Still, as part of the Ontario Place redevelopment, which will include a concert venue, the science centre, parkland, trails and a deep-water swimming pier, the government has so far spent"hundreds of millions" on site servicing, Lindsay said. After answering the question about tree removals, the moderator of the technical briefing cut in to say officials would be taking no more questions on trees.
