About this listen
On July 22, 2018, a warm summer night in Toronto’s Greektown was shattered by one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history. In this premiere episode of Northern Dark, we examine the events of that night, the class-action lawsuit that followed, and the incredible legacy left by the victims’ families — from national advocacy to life-changing community initiatives.
