Casa Loma Revitalization

I've read up on this file, and I believe it's a fair proposal by the advisory committee. I've never really considered Casa Loma much of a tourist attraction and have never suggested to anyone to go see it. It's time for a change, and in the end the advisory committee didn't leave the Kiwanis...
