How Kathleen Munroe, star of Law & Order Toronto built an unexpected community hub

By Briony Smith

The coolest new LGBTQ spot in Toronto isn’t a bar, or a club, but an old army navy hall, affectionately known as the Owl’s Club. Every Sunday night, queer cuties and their ally pals stampede down the stairs and into the basement space to gather together and … line-dance? That’s right, y’all: line-dancing is back.

Spurs is the brainchild of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent star Kathleen Munroe. Down in L.A., friends had been pestering her to check out Stud Country, a local queer line-dance event. When Munroe eventually did, she says it was magical. “I was immediately drawn in by the community and, unexpectedly, by line dancing. I don’t always gravitate toward organized fun and have no meaningful dance background,” says Munroe.
