TORONTO — 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 on Toronto’s waterfront.
The report said a government proposal on relocating the science centre suggested parking could be integrated with the building at Ontario Place “in order to dispel public/stakeholder concerns relating to cost and impact on the environment.” However, Infrastructure Ontario president and CEO Michael Lindsay noted in a media briefing about the lease that it stipulates the spots can be up to 650 metres away from the facility, so there are other surface lots in the area that could be used temporarily.
Premier Doug Ford has agreed in a deal with the City of Toronto to consider moving the parking to nearby Exhibition Place, rather than in a garage under the new Ontario Science Centre.Ontario is not paying for any of Therme’s capital costs, he said, nor giving it any subsidies. “All trees are replaced at a two-to-one ratio, and mature trees are going to be replaced at a six-to-one ratio,” Lindsay said. “The net effect of all this is 1,300 additional trees.”
“I think that the government, whatever they don’t answer, you better believe there’s a reason, because they know how deeply unpopular it is to remove those trees from that site,” she said.
