Ontario Premier Doug Ford Orders Review of Therme’s Toronto Waterfront Lease

nytimes.comPublished: 4/16/2025

Summary

The Times found that a company called Therme had been falsely presenting itself as part of a larger, established German firm with the same name to secure a Toronto water park lease. Therme admitted its wording was imprecise but insisted it only meant to convey the success of its concept. Premier Ford acknowledged the matter and said he would look into the allegations. The acquisition of one German spa by Therme occurred after winning the lease, contradicting their claims.
