Fairlawn Avenue United Church Senior’s Ministry Discussion Series

Join resident author, Gord Pitts and learn from his book showing how the past can inform our current reality

Scary Harry, the Cheesemaker Assassin

It was a fractious time of vast inequity and sharply polarized views, sparking an explosion of political violence in the U.S. But It was 1906, not 2026. Into this cauldron of class warfare stepped Harry Orchard — paid assassin and a former cheesemaker from the Ontario countryside east of Toronto. What are the lessons from his murderous rampage in an earlier Gilded Age? Gord Pitts discusses his new book. Tuesday, May 5 2:00pm – 3:30pm
