In response to the provincial government’s controversial deal with Therme spa, I have organized events and brought forward motions to utilize every city resource possible to stop this development. This project has led to the destruction of mature trees and displacement of wildlife, while the only group that benefits is an Austrian private spa.
My motion responds to troubling findings about Therme's track record, financial instability, and misleading claims. If left unchecked, the development risks turning a cherished waterfront space into a fenced-off construction site. The City is now seeking all possible avenues to preserve Ontario Place as a vibrant, accessible public space. Together, we are defending our public waterfront for future generations.
