Toronto

This is the best summary I could come up with:

With a mega private spa on provincially owned landed drawing the ire of some local politicians and members of the public, Toronto's mayor says she has a better location in mind.

Chow proposed the alternative in response to questions from media on Friday about whether Ford's reversal on plans to develop housing on parts of the Greenbelt gives her any hope he might backtrack on the controversial decision to offer a 95-year lease to Therme.

The Mayor did not elaborate on Friday or respond to requests on Wednesday about what discussions had taken place before proposing the alternative location.

The group is concerned about turning a public park into a private spa and ignoring the natural and historical significance of Ontario Place by allowing Therme to build here, he says.

Di Pasquale says the Ford government's reversal on the decision to open up the Greenbelt to developers last week presents hope that public pressure could lead to a shift on the Therme deal too.

Simon Bredin, a spokesperson for Therme Group Canada, indicated no openness to moving up the road when asked if the company would consider the Better Living Centre as a location given public opposition to its current plan.
