A SPOOKY STORY:

For more than 60 years, a young girl named Dorothy has haunted the Hockey Hall of Fame. Now, it isn’t her love of Canada’s past time that has kept her attached to the building - this was the location of where she died back in 1953. Before it was a famous museum, the Hockey Hall of Fame was the Bank of Montreal. After her death, the Toronto Telegram ran a brief article which reported that this young bank teller “may have been despondent over a love affair".

Rumours have emerged over the years about the cause of her suicide. One accused her of stealing money, another said she was having an affair with another teller or the married bank manager, who lived in the apartment upstairs. A psychic believed Dorothy was actually murdered after she uncovered a scheme that involved the bank manager, the chief of police and a leading judge who were embezzling money.

Since her death there have been countless reports of lights flicking on and off, windows opening, moaning and eerie sounds and even people feeling like they were being watched...when in a room all alone. A previous employee of the Hall, Rob Hynes, remembers the one day he was there for a special event. When getting coffee in the kitchen behind an empty conference room, he felt a strong urge that someone was watching him and that it enticed him into the dark conference room. Once he was in there, one of the chairs was turning as if a breeze were inside.. which eventually moved right through him. Rob has said that he is a skeptic when it comes to ghosts, but he ran out of there as fast as he could. As you walk past the historic Hockey Hall of Fame see if you can feel any paranormal presence.... if you dare.

Farmer's Market: Saturday, 5 am - 3 pm

South Market: Tuesday - Sunday, 10 am - 5 pm

Closed Mondays

Dating all the way back to 1803, St. Lawrence Market is a significant Toronto landmark. Originally an open-air farmers market, it was established because the people of York needed a scheduled time and place to sell their goods. Over time, it became a social hub for the city and the site for all Saturday morning sales and auctions; even public punishments were carried out here!

In 1845, the South building was constructed as Toronto City Hall. Soon after, the railway came to the city with tracks laid along The Esplanade to bring trains right into a station close by. Over the years the market has grown to become, according to National Geographic (2012), “one of the world’s best food markets".

If the sun is shining or you’re feeling brave in the colder months, take all of your goodies from the market over to St. James Park. Located next to the almost 170 year old St James Anglican Cathedral, there are plenty of spots for a picnic and for you to relax.

The current cathedral is the fourth to have stood on this site, with the first being a simple-wooden structure built in 1807. In the War of 1812 many wounded soldiers from nearby Niagara forts were brought to York for treatment. If you can believe it with all the skyscrapers now, the original church was the biggest building in town, so it served as a hospital.

It may be hard to imagine now as you stroll through the park, but the whole green space used to have hotels, bakeries, homes, other commercial shops and two small lane ways. The church you see today was rebuilt in 1853 after the Great Fire and all buildings on the park grounds were razed in stages through the 1960s.

The Distillery District was opened in 1831 as a grain grinding mill by brothers-inlaw, James Worts and William Gooderham (Sound familiar?). In 1837, Gooderham added a whiskey distillery — the flat-iron building you may have passed earlier served as their office. In its prime, Gooderham and Worts became one of the largest distilleries in the British Empire, but WWI and prohibition (when alcohol was made illegal in the 1920s) brought their business to a stop and they were forced to sell. Over the years, the buildings became quite run down.

In the 1990s, the area was rediscovered and repurposed to become the world’s second most popular filming location — it was second only to Hollywood! Hundred of big names strolled the streets you are about to explore. The area was prohibition-era Chicago for the Broadway musical turned movie phenomenon, and small town PEI for the Canadian favourite, Road to Avonlea... just to name a few!

Today’s Distillery District — with its retail space — draws visitors from all over the world.

Casa Loma (improper Spanish for "Hill House") is a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, that is now a historic house museum and landmark.

It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 metres (460 ft) above sea level, 66 metres (217 ft) above Lake Ontario.

Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television.
