Summary
This report recommends that City Council approve entering into a loan agreement with Cosprop Ltd. to exhibit up to 21 period costumes created for the UK television series "Downton Abbey" in Toronto. If approved, the costumes will be exhibited at Spadina Museum in spring 2014 as an extension of that site's programming related to "Downton Abbey."
Council approval is required because the insured value of the proposed loan ($140,000.00) is in excess of the General Manager of Economic Development and Culture's delegated approval authority for cultural transactions of up to a value of $100,000.00.
