The riot at Christie pits shows a darker side of Toronto history, a side which is often left forgotten. Thousands of dollars have been put towards signs, art, and plaques that stop us from forgetting Garrison Creek, a creek that was buried underground, and now flows underneath Christie Pits. There is not even a single plaque that brings to light that the Christie Pits riot took place.

P.C. Deb Heughan and her partner Keith at the historic Montgomery Inn in Etobicoke, about five minutes from my house. It was freezing, but not as cold as when we shot her at the Flatiron Building a few years ago.
