  • Summary

  • This week, in 1918 the small community of Wilberforce in Haliburton County wanted a church. They came up a simple solution - repurpose an already existing building. A huge challange came up a short time later - moving the 2-story church to a new loaction. Plus, the story of John Murray - who became Ontario's first Provincial Detective. His sensational cases, innovative investigative techniques and use of early forensic techniques made him a household name. Plus, he was the inspiration for the CBC's The Great Detective and the Murdoch Mystery of novel and tv fame.
