Casa Loma is a City-owned tourism and event facility that includes a historic main house and grounds, stable, hunting lodge and other buildings. It is a well-known historical landmark and popular tourist attraction in Toronto.

Casa Loma Corporation was established by City Council in 2011 to manage the day-to-day operations of Casa Loma and ensure operations were stabilized so a future direction for Casa Loma could be established effectively by the City.

In 2013, the City entered into a 20-year lease agreement with Liberty Entertainment Group to operate the Casa Loma main house and grounds as a heritage attraction and special events venue. Casa Loma Corporation provides oversight of the lease agreement while the Economic Development & Culture Division is responsible for capital upgrades.

The Corporation is governed by a Board of Directors that supervises the management of the Corporation’s business and affairs. A Council-approved Shareholder Declaration (see Attachment 2) sets out the responsibilities of the Corporation and its Board.
