Alexandre Lavallée, 73 yrs, the 12th of august 1927,and on the picture you notice that the hanging platform is at the same height as the wall of the prison yard, from the archives we have, it was the scafold from montreal, assembled 4 days before the execution. the last one to be hanged in public in the district of trois-rivieres, was Ildege Blais, 25yrs, in 1934, for the murder of his father...if you want more info E-MAIL me at stephane_dez@hotmail.com

Thanks for checking out my blog. Samuel Lount and Peter Matthews were hanged in front of a Toronto crowd on April 12 1838 but hangings continued to take place publicly in Canada for over 30 more years, until the practice was abolished by legislation on January 1 1870.

Lount and Matthews were not the last: at the Huron County gaol alone, hangings took place publicly in 1861 and 1869; in nearby Walkerton, a public hanging took place in 1868.

Samual Lount was the last public hanging in Canada...

Samual Lount was the last public hanging in Canada. He was mistakenly thought to be bad but was later found by the government to be a Great Canadian. Check out the movie Samual Lount for more details.

I was told it was in Fort Frances, Ontario.

An editorial in the Seaforth Expositor after the 1869 Melady hanging notes: "The last public execution that will take place in Canada has been witnessed." I think that may be as close to the answer as we get.

I too have been searching for the same answer. My father asked the same question on June 24 at the goal in Goderich. The helpful staff (Ashley)took his name and phone number and said she would get back to him. I said I would do some surfing in the meantime and that's how I found you! Are you any closer to an answer?
