Listening Hour from 6-7pm
For those of us who have been really excited about an upcoming event but forgot it was coming up or for those of us who will both listen in advance but also need a little refresher before discussing, we’ve got you covered!
Each week from 6-7pm we’re going to open up the room and listen to the week’s episode that we’ll be discussing from 7-8pm.
Listening hour is exactly that, we’re not chatting, just listening to the episode. We’ll have a window between the end of the episode and the discussion starting so we can all have a little break.
Who can join?
This event series is open to all members of the LGBT2Q+ community and we do mean everyone! Our two-spirit, ace, bi, pan, trans, non-binary, intersex, queer friends are welcome to join us.
We suggest participants are over the age of 18, however, if you are under age please discuss with your adult as some of the content and subject matter is heavy.
Oppressive attitudes and behaviour -- including but not limited to misogyny, transphobia, racism, fatphobia, and ableism -- are not welcome here.
For years, Toronto's Gay Village worried a serial killer was in their midst. Men were disappearing from the neighbourhood but police insisted there was no evidence of foul play. Then, in January 2018, police arrested Bruce McArthur for the murders of eight men. Police are now re-opening dozens of unsolved murders from the Village, dating back to 1975. Journalist Justin Ling has covered this story for over five years and now he's going back to shed light on these long-forgotten murders.
