The last person executed in Canada was Ronald Turpin, who was hanged on December 11, 1962, along with his accomplice, Arthur Lucas. Their executions took place at the Don Jail in Toronto. Capital punishment was abolished in Canada in 1976, making Turpin the last individual to face the death penalty in the country.
