We don't talk about the 1975 Brampton Centennial Secondary School Shooting. When we think of school shootings, we think of the USA, where it sadly seems like a regular event. But in 1975, on May 28th, it happened right here in the GTA.
The shooting took place on a Wednesday, the school was closed Thursday and Friday, then it was school as normal on Monday. No grief counsellors,
Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall and The Larry Sanders Show was a student at Brampton Centennial Secondary School in 1975 and was witness to the shooting. If you heard episode 1648 of Toronto Mike'd, you heard our chat about this traumatic event in his life that would go on to shape his life in comedy.
Here's a ten minute taste.
