Badass Berlin Tours

When I started boxing at Waterloo Regional Boxing Academy John Menezes was my first coach and he was everything you hope a couch would be. If I win my fight in November it's 90% his doing. He is such an amazing coach, family man and all around good person. I don't know how he had any extra time in his life at all with jobs and marriages and all those kids at home but he always made time for us old guys at the gym (as a volunteer!!!)

His wife is also struggling with some health issues right now and I can't think of a better cause to fight for than to directly help the guy who has helped me so much.

If you'd like to support me please support Coach John and his family, I'd appreciate it more than you can know.

Thanks so much and wish me luck!

Before I left for Calgary I had been training at Waterloo Regional Boxing Academy for about 3 years but I had never actually had a fight. I've decided to change that. Nov 24th I've signed up for a white collar boxing event. I'd love you to come or at least buy a ticket! (I need to sell 10). So if you'd like to see me beat someone up (or get beat up!) tickets can be purchased at this link.
If you'd like to support me but can't buy a ticket (I realize my Calgary network is rather small) I'd also really appreciate even more if you'd support my charity of choice which I will outline in the next post.

Thanks so much for the support and wish me luck!

Please either print your tickets or have your ticket open on your mobile as this will be required on the door. Dress Code We operate a VERY strict dress code policy - Minimum shirt, tie, dress pants and shoes for men. Evening dresses for ladies, or dress pants trousers and a blouse. No jeans, sneake...

These tours were my baby when I worked at the Wellington County Museum. It’s one of the best Halloween tours around, I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re thinking of a date night there are a TON of great places to get drinks either before or after I’m Elora, and the lantern light tours of the Poorhouse Cemetery and the stories from the Poorhouse itself are amazing. It’s an amazing spooky time. So yourself a favour!

History can hold some of the most unsettling and spooky stories. Join us on this year’s Cemetery Tours to explore the real history of the County Poor House and the people who called it home.
$15 per person, 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm tours on October 20, 21, 27, and 28.

Boo! Back from the dead! Kind of….

My life these days has taken me far away from the spooky streets of Berlin and has made doing tours a rare occurrence (but I still managed to do two on a visit home this summer!).

Even from a distance however, I have been working behind the scenes with the good folks of the Schneider Haus National Historic Site to help them create their own Bloody Berlin Walking Tours.

If you are interested in learning a little more about the history (and deep dark secrets) of Kitchener, give them a go! They’re going to be great!

📅 September 28, October 6, 12, 13, 19, 27 and November 2.
🕖 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
📍 Schneider Haus

It was a dark and stormy night. Just perfect for Cemetery Tours at the Wellington County Museum. What a privilege to be able to tell the tragic stories from the Old Poorhouse

Cemetery Tours Available at Wellington.ca/museum!!!!

If you liked Badass Berlin Tours why not join me at my other job this October? Fergus and Elora can be just as Badass as DTK!

From 1877-1947 the Wellington County Museum in Fergus was the House of Industry and Refuge or Poorhouse for Wellington County. Poor souls with no one to help them, and no where else to go would be sent there to live, work, and sadly to often die. 271 of these people still remain in the cemetery to this day.

This October I will be leading nighttime tours by lantern light through the cemetery and talking about some of the tragedies that took place there and some of the fascinating people who still remain in the cemetery to this day. So if Badass Berlin Tours was right up your ally, join me again for a tour of this amazing place…unless of course tours of a cemetery next to “one of the most haunted buildings in Ontario” at night seems too scary for you…..but if that seems more intriguing than horrifying, tickets can be purchased at Wellington.ca/museum or by calling the Museum at 519-846-0916

Tickets on sale now at Wellington.ca/museum
