Guild Inn

Finally, a project that just might work for the Guild Inn. http://www.guildwood.on.ca/Site/Guild%20Inn%20history.htmlCentennial College and the city of Toronto have started negotiations to restore the oldest part of the Guild Inn, demolish and replace the rest and make it the home of its Culture and Heritage Institute. The Guild Inn has an impressive history as an arts colony and then Inn. Unfortunately, when the City of Toronto gained control of the site, it mismanaged the site and the Inn was forced to close.

I have fond memories of the Guild Inn- friends were married there. When I worked close by, I used to arrange end of year luncheons and retirement functions at the Guild. One year, I booked a Christmas dance and dinner at the Guild. We would have our own room; food was buffet style. If you came on a nice day, you could sit outside and enjoy the view of the gardens which are still maintained and hopefully as part of the new facility with a boutique hotel and restaurant guests, we will again enjoy what was a gem in Scarborough. Sad that the city could not figure out how to run the site.
