Summer Tours 2023

Tours of Osgoode Hall, conducted by Law Society volunteers, give you a fascinating glimpse inside one of Toronto's landmark buildings.

Tours usually include visits to:

• The Atrium, with its geometric tile floor and stained glass skylights, portraiture of Chief Justices of past centuries, its touching war memorial, and its architecture reminiscent of an Italian palazzo.
• A solemn 19th century courtroom.
• The Great Library, with its classical reading room, 40-foot high ceiling, spectacular ornamental plaster, war memorial, and an elegant spiral staircase in the American Room.
• The East Wing, in use since 1832 - one of the oldest buildings in Canada that is still in the hands of its original owner and used for its original purpose.
• Convocation Hall, Osgoode Hall's great hall, which looks like a set from the Harry Potter movies.

Please note that as Osgoode Hall is a courthouse and a busy office building, the tour itinerary may be subject to change without notice
