29 h. ago Ontario Place megaspa company fires back after making international headlines

It's been nearly four years since residents first learned of the major players tapped to redevelop Ontario Place, the expansive lakeshore green space that for many years served as the best amusement park in Toronto, if not the entire province.That also means it's been just as many years of drama surrounding the overhaul, as the public quickly became aware of how much of the space it would be losing to private entities, and at what cost — to taxpayers, the environment, and more.There had been propositions to build everything from a casino and condos to a landmark Ferris wheel and public gardens on the 155-acre property, some of these ideas being understandably less popular than others.In the end, the key brand that the provincial government selected to take over the coveted lands was Therme Group, an Austria-based spa company that will build a wellness facility that ...

While the GTA is certainly far from lacking when it comes to great pizza shops, there's something uniquely special about a good, old-fashioned mom-and-pop shop.Sure, they may not carry the same street cred as trendy spots like Badiali, nor come with a celebrity chef cosign like Maker Pizza, but the history, which is all too often painted across their walls in the form of framed newspaper clippings, awards, and photographs, adds something that buzz just can't.While Toronto proper boasts such stalwarts as Oakwood Pizza and Danforth Pizza House, Thornhill has Dante's, which has been slinging traditional-style pies and Italian cuisine since 1976.Founded by Dante Paoletti, the pizza shop has been a local phenomenon for decades as it keeps the community supplied with gourmet pies and a full suite of Italian staples. If there was ever a time to throw the term institution around, it would be when discussing Dante's.That's not to say that the past 52 years have ...
