Some @OntarioPlace Therme plans are out. With 1,000-spot parking garage paid for by the public. That will be ~$100-million, bringing the subsidy for this waterpark to $300-million. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… #topoli #onpoli
@OntarioPlace Any claim that this project is paying its own way, or "footing the bill" for parkland, is not true. The gov't wi,l pay $200m to remediate the site and $100m for parking. At least.

Interesting note for New Yorkers: @highlinenyc founder Robert Hammond has lent his reputation to this company, who are building an indoor waterpark and parking garage on a historic site thermegroup.com/high-line-co-f…
