Therme Canada has unveiled new visuals and updated plans as part of the project to redevelop Ontario Place.

The area is to be regenerated as ‘a world-class year-round tourist destination for all’ according to the group.

Mark Lawson, Vice President, Communications & External Relations, Therme Canada said “Having signed a long-term lease at Ontario Place, we are delivering on our commitment to create an iconic, global attraction along with new privately funded and maintained public space that will allow everyone to enjoy Ontario Place year-round.”

Ontario Place will include shoreline restoration, 11.8 acres of freely accessible public space, enhanced trails, a public beach, new wetlands and aquatic habitats.

The area will cover 4.1 acres of green roofs that connect the building to the surrounding natural landscape and restore existing heritage gathering areas.

Therme Group was selected by the Government of Ontario through an international bidding competition held in 2019 and has subsequently signed a long-term ground lease at Ontario Place.

Ontario Place will be ‘a family-friendly experience focused on fun, relaxation and wellbeing. There will be indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides and a wave pool, natural spaces to relax, sports performance and recovery services, and botanical gardens.’
