A Supernatural History of Toronto
A SUPERNATURAL HISTORY OF TORONTO

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! THE COURSE BEGINS OCTOBER 25, 2023!

You can learn a lot about a city through the stories of the strange things said to lurk in its shadows. In four online lectures, we'll explore Toronto's past through tales of phantoms, monsters and mythical beasts. Whether it's the terrifying creature spotted in the tunnels beneath Cabbagetown, the sea serpent rumoured to live in the depths of Lake Ontario, or the unicorns hidden all over town, the supernatural stories told about our city illuminate the history of the place we call home.

Explore that history with the best-selling author of The Toronto Book of the Dead and The Toronto Book of Love, host of the Canadiana documentary series, and creator of The Toronto History Weekly newsletter.


FORMAT: The course will include weekly lectures on Zoom with a chance to interact and ask questions, as well as a list of recommended readings & links. Each class will last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Every lecture will also be available to stream online later for anyone who has to miss a class.

DATES: October 25 to November 15.

TIME: Every Wednesday night at 8pm.

COST: $75 + tax.

Registration: To register, simply fill out the form below and I'll follow up to arrange payment by e-transfer or cheque, whichever you prefer. If more than one person in your household would like to take the course, feel free to sit in on the lectures together — you only need to pay one fee per screen. I'm also offering 10% off for paid subscribers of my Toronto History Weekly newsletter! (You can subscribe here.)
