Lauren,
AFAIK PEBL only runs on a desktop computer while MTurkers complete tasks
online. I doubt this would work posting a HIT for an in-person task. For
one thing, MTurk doesn't have much support for only advertising to
people geographically close. You could say, "I need people in the
Toronto area" but then another problem for you will be that MTurk can
only pay people in the US and India, so most MTurkers are from one of
those two places.
You might have better luck on Craigslist (in the volunteers section),
which is city-specific (but CL will be incredibly slower than using MTurk).
For online tasks, some people use SurveyMonkey or Qualtrics, but it
depends on what kinds of tasks you want to use.
I have some other advice for using MTurk, but there's lots written on
this topic (there's a book out in the past couple years) and much
depends on your specific design. For example, longitudinal designs (or
any design where you need people to answer at two different time points)
have challenges because MTurk doesn't allow you to collect identifying
information. But this is all fairly off-topic for PEBL.

functions on fire in a copy of Orion.
I watched C-Sharp glitter in the dark near a programmable gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like Ruby... on... Rails... Time for Pi.
