Every city, town and village in this country has its own unique history. For this episode, CCH takes a deep dive into some strange tales from the great city of Toronto. From a brawl between clowns and firefighters, to a bizarre post-mortem request from one of Canada's most important political figures and finally to a strange contest that saw the birth rate of the city spike. Guiding us through these tales is historian Adam Bunch. Adam is the author of the Toronto Book of the Dead and The Toronto Book of Love, host of the Canadiana documentary series on YouTube, and the creator of the Toronto History Weekly newsletter.
He is also one of the organisers of the Festival of Bizarre Toronto History, a festival dedicated
to exploring strange stories from the city's past. This festival is a busy week
filled with online lectures, panels, interviews, and walking tours featuring
some of Toronto's greatest storytellers. The festival runs from April 3 to 9
and tickets are now on sale and can be purchased via the website bizarretoronto.com.
