Toronto’s Most Notorious: Bootleggers & Smugglers
Date: Friday, July 11, 2025
Time: 12:00 pm – 1 pm
Location: Online
Toronto's history is filled with tales of criminals creeping through our city's shadows. In this talk, we'll head into the secret speakeasies, backrooms and brothels of days gone by to uncover those stories.
Toronto's Most Notorious explores the shadowy underbelly of Toronto's past with true crime and mystery stories about the scoundrels, rogues, killers and crooks whose crimes have shocked and fascinated our city for generations. In four monthly talks, author Adam Bunch will share wicked tales of vice and villainy and how they've shaped the history of the place we call home.
Storyteller and historian Adam Bunch will introduce us to everyone from the smugglers who snuck shipments up the Scarborough Bluffs to the jazz age rumrunners who defied Prohibition to the gangsters who got rich off the rewards of bootlegging.
