  • Summary

  • This week, Kate has the story of the Golden Slipper Dance Hall just outside Haliburton Village from the mid-1930's to the late 1970's. It was a happening place with live music and open late 7-days a week. Plus, Paul has a brief history of bodysnatching in Canada in the 1800's. There was a catch-22 at the time. Medical students were required to do dissections of cadavers in order to learn to be surgeons, but the law meant they could be punished for dissections except for bodies of executed criminals - and they were in short supply. Enter the 'resurrection men' aka bodysnatchers who found ways to fill the need and outrage the public.

    Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com
