A Walking Tour of Haunted Toronto
Back in July this blog posted information about summer NEAT tours (Newcomers Explore and Appreciate Toronto).
Neat Tours are back, this time with a free tour especially for newcomers of haunted Toronto and just in time for Halloween. Walkers will learn about the history and hauntings of famous Toronto buildings:
- Osgoode Hall
- Scadding House
- the Old Courthouse
- The Royal York Hotel
- The Hockey Hall of Fame
It all takes place on Saturday October 26th at 1:30 p.m. The tour group is meeting in front of Union Station, on the southeast corner of Front Street and York Street. The tour ends at Nathan Phillips Square (City Hall) at 3 p.m. Stick around and you can see the annual Zombie Walk and Halloween Parade. Of course, you'll want to bring a camera. And why not wear your own costume and be part of the spectacle?
Sign up for NEAT walking tours through meetup.com/NEATwalks or call CultureLink at 416-588-6288 extension 231.
