Fjord Drama - Winner Cannes Film Festival (Location TBC)

Note: Once theatres update their movie listing, latest Wednesday that week, the time and location will be confirmed. On **Saturday October 24th,** join me to see **Fjord, Winner of the prestigious Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival**. The latest film from writer-director Cristian Mungiu is a gripping high-stakes courtroom drama driven by a profound moral dilemma, where private lives are laid bare for public scrutiny. In the latest from masterful Cristian Mungiu (*Graduation,* TIFF ’16; *R.M.N*, TIFF ’22), Lisbet (Renate Reinsve, TIFF ’25’s*Sentimental Value*) and Mihai Gheorghiu (Sebastian Stan, TIFF ’23’s *Dumb Money*) are a conservative Christian couple who’ve relocated from Romania to an isolated Norwegian town with their five children. Unlike their new neighbours, the Gheorghius enforce daily bible study and don’t allow trappings like smartphones and YouTube. The family’s rigid beliefs cause a stir when one of the children is accused of introducing religious bias into their school by criticizing another student’s sexual orientation. This, however, is just the beginning of the family’s problems.... **My seat is TBC.

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.

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.

👻 Ghost Tour: The Exhibition Grounds 🎡

# 👻 Ghost Tour: The Exhibition Grounds 🎡 ### Toronto's Haunted Fairgrounds, Dark History & One Building I Don't Like Being Near The Exhibition Grounds have spent more than a century hosting crowds, celebrations, soldiers, shows, and some of Toronto's biggest events. But underneath all that history is a darker side. The Exhibition Grounds are said to be **one of the most haunted places in Toronto** — and I'll be honest: **this is the one place on my ghost walks that genuinely scares me.** There's something about the atmosphere here. Some buildings have an energy that feels different. And when you know what happened in them, it's hard not to look at them a little differently. On this evening ghost walk, we'll explore the grounds and hear stories of **soldiers, settlers, performers, animals, tragedies, and people who may never have completely left.** This isn't just about trying to scare you. It's about discovering the strange history hiding underneath one of Toronto's most familiar landmarks. 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 👻 What We'll Explore We'll begin outside **Medieval Times** and make our way across the Exhibition Grounds toward the Princes' Gates. Along the way, we'll hear stories connected to: * 🏚️ **The General Service Building** * 💀 **The Stanley Barracks** — the building that genuinely creeps me out * 🐎 **The Horse Palace** * 🏠 **Scadding Cabin** * 👻 Other strange stories, unexplained encounters, and haunted corners of the grounds We'll finish at the **Princes' Gates**. We'll keep a steady walking pace and **will not be entering any of the buildings**. *** ## 🕯️ Why This One Is Different I've done a lot of ghost walks around Toronto. **This is the one that actually makes me uncomfortable.** Maybe it's the history. Maybe it's the buildings. Maybe it's simply knowing what happened here and then standing there after dark. Whatever it is, the Exhibition Grounds have always felt different to me. So come prepared for some genuinely creepy stories — and maybe a few moments where we all wonder whether we should really be standing there. 👻 *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** In front of **Medieval Times** 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time:** **6:30 PM sharp** I will only wait **5 minutes**. **Early is on time.

Sunday's Best [AGO]

🍁 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.

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)**
