Dozens of graves found under Toronto church parking lot

Dozens of sets of century-old human remains have been found under the parking lot of St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic church in Toronto’s Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West area.

Archeologists were brought in to do some test digs because of concerns that there might be an existing graveyard on the property. The archeologists found the graves of at least 57 people, coffins, and grave markers dating as far back as 1866.
