The Ontario Place spa: new drawings, still a disaster

July 11, 2025

This week, Therme Canada revealed more visuals of its controversial Ontario Place facility – a sprawling private spa complex on what used to be parkland.

The PR rollout emphasized “sustainable” and “inclusive” aspects of the design. But this is still the same disastrous project it’s always been. It is a private stadium-sized recreation facility that has no business existing on a waterfront, accompanied by an enormous parking garage. And it’s not getting better.
