CNE HAUNTED WALKING TOURS
October 7 & 22,
7:00 to 9:00pm
 Exhibition
Place is known for its bright lights and entertaining shows and
events, but lurking below the surface are a few well-kept secrets
that, until this walking tour, were primarily known only to staff who
work the late shift. That the grounds should harbour otherworldly
visitors is not much of a surprise: the Horticulture Building was once
used as a temporary morgue; the current site of the CNE midway was a
bloody battlefield during the War of 1812; and the grounds were once
home to two military forts. Not to mention the CNE’s own long history,
going back to 1879 – plenty of time and plenty of reasons for an
accumulation of “things that go bump in the night.”
