Singles Crime & Punishment Tour April 5, 2008

Join us for our Singles Crime & Punishment Tour! Visitors to modern day Toronto often comment on its cleanliness and how safe it feels. But social justice, law and order were not always the highly regarded institutions that they are now. On this tour you and other singles will learn about the backdrop of harsh life that made up early Toronto history, and also about a few specific criminal cases. These include the brutal murder of the first lighthouse keeper, the assassination of George Brown, one of Canadas Fathers of Confederation, and the public execution of two participants in the Rebellion of 1837. Points of more general interest include one of the citys earliest jail cells, and Market Lane, the historic site of the stocks, pillories and branding posts where citizens were beaten and tortured in public on a weekly basis. Come and discover the gruesome history behind our now peaceful city. Join us afterwards at the Courthouse Market Grille for a drink and some great conversation. This event is for singles 30+.
