On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report recommends that City Council, as sole shareholder of Casa Loma Corporation (the Corporation), receive the Corporation's 2025 Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements and approve the voluntary wind-up and dissolution of the Corporation. Established in 2011 as an interim governance structure to stabilize operations, the Corporation has fulfilled its mandate. With long-term lease and operating agreements between the City and a third party for the use of Casa Loma in place, the Corporation is no longer required.

Dissolution will enable the City of Toronto to assume direct oversight of Casa Loma through the Economic Development and Culture Division (EDC), improving administrative efficiency and aligning governance with current operational needs. The report further recommends the appointment of the City Controller & Chief Accountant as Liquidator to undertake the Corporation's wind-up process, the transfer of all of the Corporation's assets and liabilities to the City, and the direction of net future lease revenues to the Casa Loma Reserve Fund within EDC to support ongoing capital and other requirements. The existing lease and operating agreements for the use of Casa Loma properties with Liberty Entertainment Group (LEG) will continue until January 2034. There are no net financial or operational impacts to the City anticipated because of the wind-up, and the transition is expected to be substantially completed in 2026, with continued public access and operations maintained throughout. Once wind-up activities are complete, a subsequent report to Committee and Council will be required to report out on financials and complete the formal dissolution process, in accordance with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
