Grace: One Story of Thousands Is Now Open

Tags: December 2023, Vol. 4, Issue 1

Grace: One Story of Thousands is a brand-new exhibition presented by the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre in their main-floor gallery. The exhibition follows the life and experiences of Grace, one of the 1,511 people buried in the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery at the corner of Horner and Evans Avenues in south Etobicoke. Through personal letters and surviving hospital records gathered by Grace’s great-niece, you are invited to pause and reflect on a life lived – not defined – by the institutional system in Ontario.

With a shift toward historical accuracy, personhood, and agency, the Interpretive Centre invites you to experience history through a new perspective.

Visit Grace: One Story of Thousands in WEL104 from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4:30 pm.
