Meet at 10 AM in the upstairs Food Court in Lawrence Square Plaza, just west of Lawrence West Subway Station (Spadina Line), on the north side of Lawrence Ave. Coffee is available at the Tim Hortons on the ground floor and the McDonald’s in the Food Court. (Note that we are officially meeting at the upstairs location that we gathered at a couple of weeks ago).
We will walk about 12 Km from Lawrence Square Plaza to the St Clair West Station, mostly through quiet residential and light industrial neighbourhoods. The route will be on city streets, sidewalks, and a few paved paths through parks, so shoes or boots suitable for the weather would be appropriate.
We will stop for a coffee at Commisso Brothers and Racco Bakery. I have not been there for many years, but I seem to recall from my last visit, 3 or 4 decades ago, that they may have enough room to accommodate us.
Early exits and other points of interest along the way include:
The route is available on Ride with GPS at: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31840159
Note that there will be no subway service on Line 1 between Finch and Eglinton stations on Saturday and Sunday, as this may affect your travel plans. Please check https://www.ttc.ca/Service_Advisories/Subway_closures/index.jsp in case there are any further changes.
Non-members are welcome. They will be asked to sign the waiver form but will not be charged the non-member fee.
