Darkestest Secrets! There Will be Blood - Hosted by HH Holmes (RETURN FOR 2026)
Fri, Oct 16, 11:00 PM\*\***The Toronto History Walks Yearly Pass is available. Get it now for $125.00 for 1 year of unlimited tours, email** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** **for more information or for signing up!\*\*** \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour! You can e-transfer to the following email at:** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** Start the fall season on a high note with this frightening walking tour hosted by **HH Holmes** the most prolific serial killer in American History. Considered the first serial killer he will conduct this entire tour from beginning to end. It will keep you up late at night for days. This tour will be hosted and conducted by a man who committed some of the most vicious crimes, and there is a Toronto connection to it all. He loved Toronto and wished it well. From serial killers to strange disappearances, this tour will explore some of the most disturbing true life cases, solved and unsolved, over the last 140 years here in Toronto. From old Sayer Street in the old Ward to Hospital Row. In areas that one would find quiet, and comfortable, there are demons hiding, some in plain sight. Like HH Holmes said just before he dropped through the trap door of the gallows at Moyamensing Prison; "I always had the Devil in me." This is not a **ghost** tour but a continuation of the Dark History of Toronto Series that started back in 2019 with Volume 1. This horrific walking tour is for all levels and walkers. **But this tour is not for children under the age of 12** The tour begins at the **Toronto Sign** in Nathan Philips Square. The tour ends at Bay and College Streets. **Please book early if you wish to attend this event in October! And Mr. Holmes will be waiting, patiently for your prompt RSVP!** This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 person! \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour!

Riverdale Park 5K Run / Walk / Jog
Sun, Oct 4, 1:30 PM5K every week till the snows come down! Or try to! We'll meet by the track. I'll be there early to warm up. We will start the 5K exactly at 9:30am. As mentioned in the About Us, * Using the park track we can all go at our own pace and never really be left behind unless we all finish way ahead of you. :D I think an hour is enough time to dedicate to the run. I'm pretty slow, so you will likely have me around for most of the hour. * Members are free to leave the run whenever they want. * Bring your kids, your pets, your partners, etc. * All encouraged to stick around afterwards and enjoy the park or neighbourhood on your own. * Let's get stronger, healthier and foster a great community at the same time. We also welcome runners who are not in our neighbourhood and want to join us spiritually and run from their own neighbourhoods. :-) Imagine how much healthier and communal the world would be if we all stopped for an hour once in a while to run together; re-centring and re-charging together?

Glow Night at DIYBIO.to
Thu, Oct 8, 11:00 PM**Glow Night at DIYBio.to: Fluorescent Drinks Under Black Light!** This Thursday Oct. 8,\*, DIYBio.to invites you to [Hacklab.to](https://hacklab.to/visit-us/) to help engineer the most luminous libations for an upcoming Halloween party. Think of it as a tasting lab rather than a bar night: we're here to experiment, measure, and refine, not to imbibe in earnest. **On the menu:** * **Tonic water and tonic ice cubes**, whose quinine glows electric blue under UV * **Chlorophyll-infused vodka**, a leafy green drink that fluoresces blood-red * **Riboflavin and turmeric concoctions**, glowing chartreuse and gold * Mocktail versions for everyone. The spirited versions are 19+. Then we'll put the drinks to the test. Samples go into our real-time PCR machine, repurposed as a plate reader, to measure exactly how brightly each one glows across different wavelengths. Why does tonic dazzle under a black light but barely register on some detectors? What happens when you add a pinch of salt? Come find out! **Also happening:** * Updates on our community biology projects, plus a sneak peek at courses we're preparing for the coming months * Ongoing wet-lab projects continue, and anyone keen to lend a hand is welcome to join in * Plenty of time to chat biotech, swap ideas, and meet fellow enthusiasts **About us:** DIYBio.to bridges the gap between biology and the community, helping people reconnect with the wonders of the living world. We're an open, neutral, not-for-profit group of biologists and enthusiasts, from the merely curious to PhD-level scientists. We also teach community biology programs in libraries and other not-for-profits across the city.
