    Historique

    The Medico-Legal Laboratory was established in Toronto in 1932, the second forensic laboratory in Canada. It formed part of the Department of the Attorney General. In 1951, the Deputy Attorney General decided to revitalize and expand the Medico-Legal Laboratory; a new Laboratory was established on the fifth floor of the old Hospital for Sick Children on College St. in Toronto with new equipment for modern forensic facility. It was phased out following the creation of the Office of the Chief Coroner in 1961.
