Summary
This report summarizes the results of the Request for Expressions of Interest No. 9101-12-7008, issued in May 2012 (the "REOI"), regarding the request for respondents to present options for Toronto's three civic theatres: the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Toronto Centre for the Arts, as directed by Council in September 2011. The options were to include the sale, lease, operations or any other arrangements for any or all of the civic theatres to meet the City's cultural, social and economic goals.
The recommendations of this report are the result of a process that carefully considered the merits of the options proposed, the risks and benefits to the City, governance issues, and the impact of uncertainty to the ongoing business operations of the theatres. The process was monitored by a fairness monitor who ensured a fair, open, consistent and transparent process. The recommendations also take into consideration those made by the Theatre Panel of the Mayor's Task Force on Arts and Theatres in December 2011.
None of the qualifying responses to the REOI expressed an interest in purchasing either the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts or the Toronto Centre for the Arts. It is recommended that these two theatres should remain municipally owned and operated because of their role in the not-for-profit community cultural sector. The REOI process has also led to the recommendation that the City pursue divestment of the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts given its focus on commercial entertainment.
