NEW EVENT - 👻🌙 The Ghosts of Cabbagetown

# 👻🌙 The Ghosts of Cabbagetown ### A 90-Minute Evening Ghost Walk Through One of Toronto’s Most Historic Neighbourhoods Cabbagetown has beautiful Victorian houses, quiet streets, old cemeteries, and a history that goes back generations. It also has ghosts. Join me for a **90-minute evening walking tour through Cabbagetown**, where we'll explore some of the neighbourhood's strangest stories, unsettling legends, and darker pieces of Toronto's past. We'll begin beneath the glass of **Allan Gardens**, then make our way through the streets of Cabbagetown, stopping along the way for stories of mysterious creatures, haunted buildings, old prisons, cemeteries, restless spirits, and the people who may never have quite left. This isn't a traditional history walk. It's a **ghost tour** — so expect some history, some local legends, a little mystery, and a few stories that are difficult to explain. And, of course, we'll have a few laughs along the way. 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 👻 What We'll Explore Our route will take us through some of Cabbagetown's most atmospheric locations, including: 🌿 **Allan Gardens** — ghosts beneath the glass 🐾 **Winchester Square Park** — the strange story of Cabbagetown's Tunnel Monster 🍸 **The Winchester Hotel** — spirits that may have never checked out 🏚️ **Winchester Street** — haunted houses and Victorian secrets ⛓️ **The Don Jail & Bridgepoint** — where the walls remember everything 🐄 **Riverdale Farm** — and its strange connection to the old Don Jail ⚰️ **The Toronto Necropolis** — a city of the dead beneath a city of the living 🕯️ **St. James Town & St. James' Cemetery** — where the living and the dead share the same neighbourhood And much, much more... *** ## 🌙 What Makes This Tour Different? This is a **new ghost walk for the group**, created specifically around Cabbagetown. Rather than simply walking from one location to another, the route has been **curated around the stories** so that each stop connects to the next. We'll move through the neighbourhood at a comfortable pace, stopping along the way while I share the stories behind the places we're visiting. Some stories are historical. Some are local legends. Some are downright strange. You'll have to decide for yourself which ones you believe. 👻 *** ## 🕯️ A Little About the Tour This is a **90-minute evening walk**. We will be walking outdoors throughout the tour and will **not be entering buildings**. Some locations may be viewed from outside or from nearby public spaces. Please be respectful of residents, private property, and cemetery grounds as we make our way through the neighbourhood. *** ## 📍 Meetup Details 🕚 **Meeting Time:** 6:30 PM I will only wait **5 minutes** before we begin. 🫎 **Meeting Location:** Outside the **Palm House at Allan Gardens (this BIG WHITE building)** Look for me in my **Moose Hat!** 🏁 **End Point:** Parliament Street & Wellesley Street East 🚶 **Walking Time:** Approximately 90 minutes 👻 **Pace:** Comfortable, steady walking pace *** ## 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$10 cash or e-transfer** 📧 **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** The $10 fee helps support the group and covers the **extra research, preparation, and curation that goes into creating these ghost walks**. These aren't simply walks where we meet up and wander around. I've put together a specific route, researched the stories, and created a series of stops designed to turn the walk into an actual **storytelling experience**. You're paying for the experience — not just the walking. *** ## 🎒 What to Bring 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 🧥 Weather-appropriate clothing 💧 Water 🔦 A little extra light if you have it 👻 An open mind And maybe don't wander off by yourself.

GHOST TOUR - 👻 The Ghosts of University of Toronto 🎃 with Dinner!

# 🎃 The Ghosts of the University of Toronto 👻 ### A 90-Minute Halloween Ghost Walk Through Toronto's Haunted History L ooking for something a little different this Halloween season? Join us for a **guided ghost walk through the University of Toronto campus and its eerie surroundings**, exploring some of the stories, legends, and strange histories hidden in one of Toronto's oldest neighbourhoods. This isn't one of our regular walks where we're simply following a trail and enjoying the scenery. **This is a curated storytelling experience.** I've researched the locations, developed the route, and put together the stories specifically for this experience. We'll explore some of the darker corners of the university and surrounding neighbourhoods while uncovering the people, places, and legends that have given them their haunted reputations. 🕯️ Along the way, we'll hear stories about: * What the Christies — yes, *Mr. Christie Cookies* — were hiding in their mansion 🍪 * The restless little girl who is never happy 👧 * What might really be lurking inside Queen's Park 👀 * Haunted stories connected to University of Toronto buildings * The Royal Conservatory of Music * The Royal Ontario Museum * And some other stories that are better experienced after dark... 👻 You don't have to believe in ghosts. You just have to enjoy a good story. 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 👻 What We'll Do We'll spend approximately **90 minutes walking through the University of Toronto campus and surrounding streets**, stopping at locations connected to Toronto's haunted history. Along the way we'll: * Hear stories about some of Toronto's most intriguing characters and locations * Explore the darker history of the University of Toronto * Visit locations associated with ghost stories and local legends * Learn the history behind some of the buildings around us * Walk through Queen's Park and the surrounding area * Finish at the **Royal Ontario Museum** We'll remain **outside the buildings** throughout the experience. The walking pace will be moderate, with plenty of stops along the way for stories. *** ## 🕯️ This Is More Than a Walk Our regular walks are about getting outside, exploring Toronto, and meeting people. This one is different. **This is a guided storytelling experience.** The route and stories have been researched and developed specifically for this event, so you're not just following me from one location to another — you're getting a story about the city as we go. And because it's Halloween season, we'll be doing it after dark. 🎃 *** ## 🍂 What to Expect This is an outdoor walking experience, so please dress appropriately for the weather. We'll be walking for approximately **90 minutes**, with regular stops for storytelling. There is **no entry into any buildings**, so you won't need to worry about museum admission or other entrance fees. And while some of the stories are genuinely creepy, this isn't designed to be a horror attraction. It's **Toronto history, local legends, and storytelling with a spooky twist.** *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meeting Location:** In front of the building by the stairs 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Start Time:** 7:00 PM sharp I will only wait **5 minutes.** **Early is on time. On time is late.** 🚶‍♂️ **Walking Pace:** Moderate 🏁 **End Point:** Royal Ontario Museum *** ## 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$10 cash or e-transfer** 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This is a **curated, guided storytelling experience**, rather than one of our regular group walks.

Food and drinks afterward are optional and are **not included** in the Meetup fee. *** ## 🍻 After the Ghost Walk We'll finish at the **Royal Ontario Museum**. For anyone who wants to keep the evening going, we'll walk about 10 minutes over to the **Duke of York** for food, drinks, and conversation. You don't have to come — but everyone is welcome. Because sometimes the best part of a ghost story is having someone to talk about it with afterward. 👻 *** ## 🌈 Who Is This For? This is great for: * Anyone who loves ghost stories 👻 * History buffs * People curious about Toronto's darker side * Fans of Halloween * Anyone who enjoys storytelling * People looking for something different to do in the city * Anyone who wants to meet new people while exploring Toronto You don't need to believe in ghosts. **Just bring your curiosity.** You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule.

🎬 THE WAILING | 곡성 | GOKSEONG (East End)

🍁 The Fall Colours of Brickworks (Thanksgiving Walk) 🍂

🍁 **The Fall Colours of Brickworks (Thanksgiving Walk)** 🍂 Celebrate Thanksgiving with a scenic fall walk through Toronto’s ravines as we make our way to **Evergreen Brick Works**. Along the way, enjoy the crisp autumn air, brilliant fall colours, and a peaceful escape from the city. We’ll spend about **30 minutes exploring the Brick Works**, taking in its history, trails, and unique setting before heading back through **Mount Pleasant Cemetery** — one of Toronto’s largest and oldest cemeteries, with plenty of history and beautiful seasonal scenery. For those who’d like to keep the day going, we’ll finish with a cozy **Thanksgiving lunch at Swiss Chalet**. Their seasonal special is expected to be around **$18.29 plus tax and tip** and includes stuffing, cranberry sauce, your choice of side, a roll, and a slice of pie — a pretty good way to finish a Thanksgiving walk! 🦃🥧 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ### Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** I will be standing outside of ST. CLAIR SUBWAT STATION right beside the McDonald wearing my Moose Hat. 🦌 🕛 **Meetup Time:** 12:00pm **I will only wait 5 minutes.** 💲 **Meetup Fee:** $5 cash 💵 or e-transfer 📲 to **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** 📍 **Ending Spot:** Swiss Chalet, a few blocks from the station. Planning to join us for lunch? Please let me know so I can give Swiss Chalet a rough estimate of how many people to expect. They don’t take reservations, but I’d like to give them an approximate number so they can be prepared for our group. 🍁 **Please note:** Swiss Chalet is a continuation of this event, not a separate event for anyone joining us for the walk. If you are attending the Brick Works walk **and** joining us for lunch at Swiss Chalet, you only pay the **$5 Meetup fee once**. If you are **only joining us at Swiss Chalet** and are not attending the walk, please sign up for the separate Swiss Chalet event. The **$5 Meetup fee applies** to that event. *** ### What to Bring * Water * Good walking shoes 👟 * A jacket or extra layer — fall weather can change quickly * Your camera or phone if you want to capture the colours! 📸 *** ### More About the Brick Works 🧱 From 1889 through the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canada’s leading brickyards. In the 1990s, the former quarry was restored by the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, transforming the site into the natural and cultural destination we know today. Opened to the public in 1996, Evergreen Brick Works now combines history, nature, wildlife, and trails in the heart of Toronto’s ravine system. In autumn, the surrounding landscape comes alive with reds, oranges, and golds, making it one of the city's great places to enjoy the fall colours. *** ✨ **Not sure yet? You can just show up on the day!** ⚠️ **Sometimes things happen and I may need to cancel. Please watch for updates before heading out.** 👤 **Organized by Mathew.** For questions, post on the Meetup wall or email **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)**

ROTMAN Talk: Prof. Daron Acemoglu- "What Happened to Liberal Democracy?" ($25)

### **Book Synopsis:** **From Daron Acemoglu, 2024 Nobel laureate in economics and coauthor of *Why Nations Fail,* an ambitious and expansive inquiry into the biggest story in global politics over the last hundred years: the rise and fall of liberal democracy.** **"A very important work and a must-read."** —Thomas Piketty, #1 *New York Times* bestselling author of *Capital in the Twenty-First Century* **Tickets are $25 only (or with book $44). LINK below.** **"Daron Acemoglu is one of the most brilliant and insightful thinkers I’ve ever known. His particular genius is being able to look at impossibly complex problems and see right to the heart of what matters. This book is a tour de force that left me feeling more optimistic about the future than I have in a long time."** —Steven Levitt, #1 *New York Times* bestselling author of *Freakonomics* The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 raised hopes that we were one step closer to the triumph of liberalism. Soon, many predicted, we would all be living in functional liberal democracies. Sustained economic growth would benefit all segments of society and war would be a relic of the past. A generation later, one can only ask: What happened? **Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu** argues in this powerful book that liberal democracy flourished when it pursued its core promises of shared prosperity, democratic governance, and the free pursuit of knowledge. But liberalism, a philosophy built to challenge power, never fully adjusted to becoming the establishment. Nor was it able to deal with the economic and social disruptions that digital technologies wrought. Worse, in the postindustrial economy, liberalism turned its back on its core promises. As a segment of college-educated elites became politically dominant and separated from the rest of society, they sowed the seeds of widespread inequality while intensifying efforts to reshape mass culture and values. **Ticket link** (mostly sold-out)-- https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/news-events-and-ideas/public-events/events-listings/2026/september-2026/sept-29-daron-acemoglu/ (Note: these ROTMAN Author Talks start promptly at 5:30pm, and finish at 6:30pm. We begin to meetup about 5pm for coffee/cookies)

Fall Walk: From Cabbagetown to Cherry Street 🌿 🍺

# 🍂 Fall Walk: From Rosedale to Cherry Street 🌿 ### A Fall Walk Through Some of Toronto's Most Interesting Neighbourhoods Looking for a walk that gives you a little bit of everything? We'll start in **Rosedale**, make our way through **Cabbagetown and Regent Park**, wander through the **Distillery District**, stop at **Biidaasige Park**, and finish with a well-earned meal at **Cherry Street Bar-B-Que**. Along the way, we'll see some of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, newer communities, historic architecture, green spaces, and some pretty great views. It's a longer walk, but the route is more about **exploring Toronto together** than trying to finish as quickly as possible. 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll meet outside **Rosedale Station** and begin our walk through Rosedale Valley, following the tree-lined route toward Cabbagetown. Along the way we'll: * Walk through Rosedale Valley 🌳 * Explore the historic streets of Cabbagetown * Pass through Regent Park * Wander through the Distillery District * Stop at Biidaasige Park * Take in the fall scenery and city views * Finish at **Cherry Street Bar-B-Que** 🍖 The walk includes a **long set of stairs**, so while this isn't a difficult hike, you should be comfortable walking for several hours and keeping up with the group. *** ## 🏙️ A Little Toronto History Along the Way This walk takes us through several very different parts of Toronto. In **Cabbagetown**, we'll pass beautifully preserved Victorian homes and streets that reflect the neighbourhood's long history, including its Irish roots. We'll then make our way through **Regent Park**, one of Toronto's most historically significant communities, where older social housing has been joined by new housing, arts, and community spaces. From there, we'll head into the **Distillery District**, with its cobblestone streets and historic red-brick buildings. We'll also stop at **Biidaasige Park**, whose name means *“the sun is shining”* in Anishinaabemowin. It's a lot of Toronto in one walk. *** ## 🍺 The Keating Channel Pub & Grill We'll finish our walk at **The Keating Channel Pub & Grill**, right on the Keating Channel. There's a bit of history behind this stop. The pub struggled during the massive Port Lands construction, when road closures and the relocation of the Cherry Street bridge made the area difficult to reach. With the Port Lands now transformed and **Biidaasige Park** open, people are rediscovering this part of the city — and the pub is getting a second chance. After exploring the new park and the transformed Port Lands, we'll finish at one of the neighbourhood's old survivors: a casual waterfront pub with a patio overlooking the Keating Channel. *** ## ☀️ Weather & Expectations This is a **long urban walk**, not a difficult hike, but you should be comfortable being on your feet for several hours. There is a long set of stairs along the route. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** Outside Rosedale Station 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time:** 11:00 AM sharp I will only wait **5 minutes**. **Early is on time. On time is late.** 🏁 **End Point:** Cherry Street Bar-B-Que *** ## 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$5 cash in person or e-transfer** 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue organizing events throughout Toronto. *** ## 🎒 What to Bring 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 🥪 A snack 🧴 Sunscreen 🧥 Weather-appropriate clothing *** ## 🌈 Who Is This For? This walk is great for: * People who enjoy exploring Toronto * Anyone who likes history and architecture * People looking for a longer social walk * Anyone who wants to discover neighbourhoods they might not normally visit * People who enjoy stopping for food at the end * Anyone who wants to spend a Sunday exploring the city with other people The destination isn't really the point. **It's the people you meet along the way.** You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule. Sometimes things happen and events may need to be cancelled or changed, so please keep an eye on the event page for updates. 👤 **Organizer: Mathew** Questions? Post on the event wall or email **torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com**. **Come for the walk.** **Stay for the friendship.** **And maybe stay a little longer for lunch.** 🍺🌿

🌙🍂 Fall Evening Walk: High Park & Ghost Stories 👻

# 🌙🍂 **Fall Evening Walk: High Park & Ghost Stories** 👻 ### Fall Colours, Spooky Stories & A Different Way to Spend Your Evening Looking for something a little different to do after work? Join us for an **evening walk through High Park**, where we'll enjoy the fall colours while stopping along the way for some of the park's stranger, spookier, and downright weird stories. High Park has a long history of ghost stories and local legends. From stories connected to the **War of 1812** — yes, *that* War of 1812 — to tales of mysterious deaths and people who may not have completely left the park behind, there's plenty of history to make an ordinary fall walk a little more interesting. But don't worry. **This isn't a terrifying ghost hunt.** 👻 Think **fall colours, creepy stories, a little history, a few laughs, and just enough spooky atmosphere to make you look over your shoulder once or twice.** It's a relaxed way to get outside after work, explore one of Toronto's most beautiful parks, and experience High Park as the daylight starts to disappear. 🍂🌙 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 👻 What We'll Do We'll walk through **High Park**, stopping at different locations along the way while I share stories connected to the park's history and ghostly legends.

The walk will remain **outside throughout** — there is no entry into buildings. *** ## 🎃 Halloween Day — So Let's Have Some Fun This isn't meant to be a serious paranormal investigation. Some stories are creepy. Some are strange. Some might make you wonder whether there's actually something going on. And some are just a good excuse to tell a spooky story while walking through the fall leaves. **You don't have to believe in ghosts.** You just have to enjoy a good story. *** ## 🍁 Fall Weather & Expectations This is an outdoor walk, so please dress appropriately for the weather. High Park can be cool and damp in late October, so bring a warm jacket and wear comfortable walking shoes.
