Upcoming Exhibits

All of our in-person exhibition spaces are now open to Humber students, staff and faculty. 

While we work on re-opening to the public, we invite you to visit us virtually: we have a collection of digital exhibits and projects for you to explore. Additional resources are listed on our home page. 

​

Below you will find a list of projects we are working on for when we re-open. 

Interpretive Centre

Metal gated fence stands infront of grassed area with trees. Sign above entry reads: "Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery 1890-1979"

Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery 

​

Date to be determined.

  

There are 1,511 individuals buried in the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery at the corner of Horner and Evans Avenues - a cemetery that was almost lost due to industrial development in the area. Thanks to the efforts of community mental health advocates, the Cemetery is today a protected and peaceful resting space with a gated entrance and historic signage. 

​

This exhibit will highlight the story of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital cemetery and the people who fought to save it.

Themes must connect to one of our four guiding pillars of Indigenous heritage, mental health history, educational heritage, or ecology, and/or highlight the local history of the Lakeshore Grounds region.
