About this audio guide
This guide to Humber Bay Park East in Toronto starts with a stone sundial engineered to catch a very specific moment of sunlight each June, and works backward to the tragedy it marks: the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182. It traces how the memorial came to stand here, facing across Lake Ontario toward a village in Ireland, and how the land beneath it was built from demolished-building rubble.
