Ontario Place is a unique kilometer-long waterfront asset, and once served as 
an iconic cultural and tourism destination between 1971 and 2012. 

Therme Canada | Ontario Place will continue Ontario Place's heritage, 
revitalising its original vision – celebrating the province and its culture - 
and bringing a first-of-its-kind experience to Toronto's waterfront. It is part 
of the Government of Ontario's desire to bring Ontario Place back to life as an 
exciting, year-round destination to attract local and international visitors.

Through a multi-level design, Therme Canada | Ontario Place will maximise 
internal floor area to enable 3 million visitors per year, while still 
retaining eight planned acres of public parks, beaches and trails on the 
surrounding land.

"Therme is a unique, all-season experience: It's a natural urban oasis where 
people can have fun, relax and unwind from their busy lives – boosting their 
physical and mental health," said Dr Robert Hanea, CEO of Therme Group. "The 
future of Ontario Place will be defined by how successful it can be connecting 
people to the water. Through our technology and by engaging the community, 
Therme and our partners will add a new architectural landmark that will play a 
role in bringing more people back to the waterfront capturing the original 
spirit of Ontario Place from 50 years ago."

Therme Canada | Ontario Place will be a family-friendly experience with indoor 
and outdoor pools, waterslides and a wave pool, natural spaces to relax, sports 
performance and recovery services, and botanical gardens. Programming will 
include fun and healthy activities for all ages, and affordable wellness 
therapies to meet all needs. Delicious, healthy, and sustainably produced food 
is a cornerstone of the Therme experience.

Every Therme project is designed to benefit the economy, society, and community 
it serves. Therme Canada | Ontario Place will create more than 2,200 
construction jobs and 800 full-time permanent positions. Therme's investment is 
currently estimated to be C$350+ million.

Therme Canada | Ontario Place is the latest development in Therme's global 
expansion programme, to create the most advanced sustainable wellbeing resorts 
in cities around the world. It will be the first to be developed outside 
Europe, although the group is actively progressing other large-scale projects 
worldwide.

Ontario Place has historically been a destination for recreation, 
entertainment, and leisure. Therme Canada | Ontario Place will carry on and 
improve these traditions through the planned creation of more than eight acres 
of public spaces, including a free-access public beach and enhanced pedestrian 
and cycling access.

Therme's bridge to the West Island from the mainland will support the extension 
and enhancement of the William G. Davis Trail across the entire site, including 
providing a new link to the mainland from the West Island, allowing people to 
enjoy more of Ontario Place outdoors year-round.
