Casa Loma is in desperate need of funding for repairs.
A community meeting held Thursday night heard that canada’s most famous castle is badly in need of $20 million worth of external repairs while estimates for interior repairs are unknown at this point.
The meeting at nearby Grace Church on the Hill was attended by Casa Loma Corp. members, area residents, people in the business and entertainment community, Casa Loma staff, city councillors and staff.
Revenues from admittance to Casa Loma and from special event rentals come to around $1 million after expenses.
The CLC has a mandate to suggest long-term use and ownership of the historical buildings to the City of Toronto.
They'll be making a recommendation to the executive committee on June 12.
