According to the new report by the city manager released today (on p. 23):
iii. Heritage Toronto
This report recommends the General Manager of Economic Development and Culture
consult with the heritage community with the objective of converting Heritage Toronto to a fully independent not-for-profit corporation funded by partnerships, donations, and membership fees with a mandate similar to that of the current Heritage Toronto.
It is anticipated that an arms-length organization may be more successful in garnering
external support from other levels of government, the public, and the private sector.
However, the viability or transition to a different business model will need to be assessed carefully so as to protect the successes, and growth of the program.
Heritage Toronto is a City agency whose directors are appointed by City Council with a mandate to foster community-based input, and involvement. Its work is distinct from the heritage advice given by Heritage Preservation Services staff as part of the land planning process.
Through partnerships with local community groups, and donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations, Heritage Toronto provides city-wide activities such as heritage tours, plaques, and markers, heritage lectures, and consultations. Its 2011 Operating Budget is $845.300 gross, and $346.400 net respectively.
