Even after a hundred years, some things never change.

In 1912, Toronto council voted to ban tobogganing on Sundays, because of God and stuff. Torontoist has a cool write up about all the drama, but the 1981 piece by Gene Homel is really great, I just can’t seem to find an accessible copy online.  I dug around the Toronto Star archives for a bit tonight and given the snow I figured I’d look at the great Toboggan controversy of 1912… That  banned tobogganing on Sundays in Toronto until 1961.
