Plans for Nordic spa in Edmonton's river valley now official, developers say
Edmonton has been selected as the location of a new spa that promises to make a secluded corner of the city's southwest a destination for cold plunges, steam heat and silent relaxation. The city's first Nordic spa is slated for construction in Brander Gardens, overlooking the North Saskatchewan River. Canadian wellness brand Scandinave Group Inc. has been floating plans to construct the facility on property owned by the University of Alberta Properties Trust known as the Soaring lands. In a joint news release Wednesday, officials with Scandinave Group, along with the provincial government and Travel Alberta, announced that those plans are now official. Steve Arsenault, the company's president and CEO, said the project is moving forward after garnering support from Alberta's Investment and Growth Fund. The spa is now expected to open in the summer of 2028. "Bringing Scandinave Spa to Edmonton is a natural fit with our vision to create unforgettable wellness experiences in iconic destinations," Arsenault said in a statement. "We're proud to be part of Alberta's tourism future and to offer Edmontonians a unique way to unwind, year-round." Nordic spas, known as a Scandinavian spas or thermal spas, are centred around the concept of hydrotherapy where clients gently heat their bodies in saunas or hot tubs before cooling off with a cold bath and repeating the cycle. Scandinave Group Inc. — which has built similar spas in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia — said the spa will include saunas, steam baths, cold plunges and outdoor relaxation areas. Following a pitch to the City of Edmonton and a series of public consultations, councillors voted unanimously to pass a rezoning application for the project in February, clearing the way for construction. Arsenault said the project is expected to generate approximately $121 million in total economic impact over its first decade of operation while making Edmonton a destination for the growing wellness tourism industry. It's expected to result in 330 temporary jobs during construction and 52 permanent full-time jobs after the spa opens, company officials said. The announcement was lauded by Andrew Boitchenko, Alberta's tourism minister, who said the provincial government is proud to support the new venture. "This landmark project sets the stage for future tourism development, fuelling the growth of our visitor economy by enhancing Edmonton's iconic river valley and promoting Alberta as a premier wellness destination."

'BASIN Glacial Waters' - Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise's Indoor-Outdoor, Lakeside Thermal Bathing Destination - Set to Debut; Opening Date Announced
LAKE LOUISE, AB, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - BASIN Glacial Waters, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise's highly anticipated thermal bathing destination, is to officially open on September 15, 2025. The debut of the world class, indoor-outdoor facility is set to revolutionize wellness in the Canadian Rockies with its contemporary interpretation of a traditional bathhouse – embedded within the landscape of Banff National Park's high alpine. Advanced reservations for access into BASIN Glacial Waters – at this time, available exclusively to hotel guests -- are to go live Friday, July 18, 10:00 MST. A concept two decades in the making and realized by acclaimed AD100 Matteo Thun, BASIN Glacial Waters is inspired by the healing benefits of natural springs, thermal waters, and long-established wellness practices of Nordic sauna culture, yet reimagined through a luxury lens. Resting at an elevation of 1600m (5,200ft) with an uninterrupted vista of Canada's iconic Lake Louise and the impressive Victoria Glacier – the facility's mineral-rich, natural water source – BASIN is presented in minimalistic grandeur, with organic textures and a strong sensibility towards conscious sourcing and sustainability. "Capturing the spirit of Lake Louise was at the heart of the architectural intention, to respect the richness of the landscape with a design that represents simplicity, purity, and the uniqueness of the location. Nature and the beautiful surroundings of the lake and the forest become the protagonist – architecture and interior the stage," says Matteo Thun of the concept. Elements of water - from crushed ice to steam mists - are the basis; an invite to immerse into self-guided circuits flowing between varying heat and humidity states of the traditional Finnish and Bio Saunas, Aufguss Sauna, Steam Rooms, Hot Stone Massage Room, and Silent Salt Relax Room - with its gently warm glow from the Himalayan salt wall naturally ionizing the air. In addition, a series of diverse temperature pools, including the Reflexology Pool, Infinity Pool - spanning onto the outdoor terrace - and Kneipp Walk, for standing contrast bathing. Two wet treatment rooms further enhance the thermotherapy cycle, one of which modelled on a traditional Hammam for full-body exfoliation. Guests can also opt to follow one of five thoughtfully curated wellness journeys – named "Trails" - for a preferred wellness outcome. The 'Stillness Trail' is a gentle sequence to soothe the nervous system and set the body into the perfect state for a deep rest, the "Presence Trail" for grounding and awareness – to counteract jet lag and calm an anxious mind. Designed to be experienced to an individual's preferred pace and circuit sequence, BASIN allows for moments of introspective pause and solo reflection combined with spaces for quiet social gathering. The 'Glacier Lounge' is an open, communal space to rehydrate and restore indoors, with a menu of simple, light, freshly prepared dishes. A selection of elixirs, tonics, nootropics and adaptogens will also be on hand - and for a sense of occasion, premium Champagne and craft beverages will complement the experience. The 'Aufguss Ceremony', its roots in European sauna practices, will be a BASIN signature. Led by world-renowned "sauna masters" performing traditional oil-infused steam rituals to an intimate group of guests within the outdoor Aufguss, ceremonies will take place throughout the day. As a "Fairmont first", poised to become a flagship for the Group's latest wellbeing platform, BASIN Glacial Waters sets the stage for an entirely new, and elevated, response to wellness travel within Canada. "Wellness at Fairmont has always been about creating meaningful experiences; and now, BASIN represents an evolution of this", says Emma Darby, Global Vice President Spa & Wellness, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. Darby continues: "Our vision with this concept was to create an all-sensory space that felt both intentional and immersive, where guests can slow down, take a breath, and feel genuinely restored – all the while, set against the exquisite backdrop of Lake Louise. The BASIN experience is not prescriptive but is instead, deeply connected to the landscape and focused on the guest's individual mindset. This exciting addition into our global portfolio demonstrates our commitment to innovation, and how the brand is responding to - and seeking to exceed - modern guest demand for luxury wellness experiences." Tracy Lowe, General Manager, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, adds: "The introduction of BASIN Glacial Waters marks a new chapter for Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, the cornerstone of a reimagined resort experience. Set to become a sought-after wellness destination in its own right, its debut signifies the completion of a transformative investment of $130MM across the property - including the renovation of guest rooms and suites, and a redesign of the hotel's Fairmont Spa. It truly is a remarkable milestone year for our heritage hotel that has graced the shores of Lake Louise for over a century." From opening, BASIN will be accessible daily and year-round, the indoor-outdoor nature of the thermotherapy experience shifting with Lake Louise's dramatic seasonal changes. The 'BASIN Signature Retreat' has been designed for guests seeking a wellness-inspired resort stay, featuring BASIN access, a 'Glacier Lounge' tasting, and guided wellness-in-nature experience. Further, guests can partake in the resort's diverse program of wellness-focused outdoor activities, such as small-group Forest Bathing, a Silent Meditation Walk to find presence within the alpine, or a natural cold plunge with guided breathwork in the glacial waters of Lake Louise itself. Both the 'BASIN Signature Retreat' and reservations for BASIN access go live Friday, July 18, 10:00 a.m. MST. Access passes for non-hotel guests are to be introduced at a later date. About BASIN Glacial Waters BASIN Glacial Waters offers an all-sensory thermal bathing experience for wellness seekers desiring a world-class journey of reflection, restoration, and vitality. Set in the dramatic landscapes of Lake Louise, it connects guests to the raw elements and natural rhythm of its grand surroundings. Consciously designed and bathed in minimalistic luxury, it provides a deeply intentional and fully immersive wellness journey. To view the BASIN Glacial Waters Press Kit, see here.

Navamedic completes dne pharma acquisition
Oslo, Norway-headquartered Navamedic has completed its previously announced acquisition of dne pharma's business for Nkr225m ($22m). This acquisition comprises dne pharma's entire business: its product portfolio, key personnel, all vital contracts, intellectual property, distribution agreements and licenses. They will be integrated into the existing commercial platform of Navamedic, aiming to facilitate rapid market access and expansion within Nordic and selected markets in Europe. The acquired products from dne pharma include Ventizolve (intranasal naloxone spray), Levopidon (levomethadone) and Metadon Dne (methadone), which is used for opioid substitution therapy. The initial transaction announced in June 2025 stated a payment of Nkr185m at closing and an additional Nkr40m dependent on future sales volumes. Navamedic CEO Kathrine Gamborg Andreassen stated: "This acquisition represents a significant step in our strategic expansion into the rapidly growing field of addiction treatment and is well aligned with our long-term growth ambitions. 'Thanks to the strong collaboration among all parties involved, the transaction was completed smoothly and efficiently. We are pleased that the General Meeting unanimously approved the rights issue yesterday, and we are sincerely grateful for the continued support of Kistefos and the other underwriters.' To finance the acquisition, Navamedic secured new debt facilities amounting to Nkr110m from Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Norge (Nordea), supplemented by equity raised through a rights issue. A bridge loan provided by Nordea facilitated the prompt completion of the deal ahead of finalising the rights issue proceeds. In arranging this transaction, Navamedic was assisted by DNB Carnegie, part of DNB Bank, and Thommessen for advisory services. Both DNB Carnegie and Nordea Corporate Finance continued as managers for the rights issue, with Thommessen continuing its role as legal advisors. dne pharma CEO Geir Ove Engeset stated: 'We are very pleased to close this transaction with Navamedic, and we are confident that the Navamedic team will continue to grow the opioid substitution business developed by dne pharma, in particular the Ventizolve products.'
