The "revitalization" of Ontario Place — specifically, the Therme megaspa that serves as the project's cornerstone — has become a blight on Toronto's waterfront, leaving passersby both devastated and enraged to see a public green space and mature habitat reduced to dust overnight despite ample resistance.Alarming revelations about the site's enormous future parking garage, plans to extend the development over the lake, the lack of environmental assessments involved, and more have emerged in the years since the overhaul of the 155-acre property was first announced.But the latest update, which comes via a damning New York Times investigation published on Wednesday, may be the most scandalous yet.While most would agree that the long-defunct amusement park could have benefited from an overhaul, NYT — which is already very familiar with the Ontario Place saga — elucidates why Therme was, as many community members al...
