Doors Open 2014

This year, I'm honoured to lead a special walk for Heritage Toronto during Doors Open.

The theme of this year's Doors Open festival is  Secrets and Spirits and the walk will be tied to that theme.

It's called  COMMUNING WITH THE SPIRITS? Doubt And Belief In Toronto The Good

Even in Toronto the Good, there were those who communed with the spirits by unorthodox means. Travel back one hundred years to a Toronto fascinated by photographs of “ghosts,” the mysterious powers of “radiopathy” emanating from a Bay Street office, and popular performances of mediums at Massey Hall. Stand on the steps of the courts to hear about the people and court trials that sought to uncover and discredit them.
Date: May 24 and 25
Times (for walk with me): 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM, each day
Meet at:  You'll find out when you register for this limited audience walk!
Duration: About 90 minutes

It is a limited attendance walk.  The link to REGISTER isn't live just yet. Stay tuned for news when it's posted.

Here's more about Doors Open Toronto 2014 and Secrets and Spirits
"… exploring the mysteries behind the door. Secret spaces and stories exist all over Toronto, from an underground bowling alley in a downtown church to a secret tomb in another, from hidden nooks and crannies in the buildings at the University of Toronto to the little-known ghosts haunting the Distillery District."
