Why go

It is notorious for the last judicial hangings in Canada in 1962. Despite its grim history, the building is attractive architecturally, looking palatial over a broad green space, having been converted into an administrative building for the Bridgepoint Health complex in 2013. There are pamplets at the jail building entrances for a self-guided tour of the interior. Inside you will see the rotunda with a contemporary art displays, and a number of fixtures of the old jail. There is a preserved cell block.
