Meet (indoors this time) at about 10:00 AM in the Great Hall of Union Station (in Union Station itself, not the subway station). We will begin the walk at 10:10 AM sharp.

Please note that washrooms in Union Station can be found by waking south from the middle of the Great Hall to the VIA Concourse Hall "Entrance to Trains" (just after going down the ramp, Men's on the right, Women's on the left) or by walking west from the Great Hall (washrooms are down a corridor on the south side).

The walk will be about 8 Km. We will walk in a loop up University Ave, looking at some Sorel Etrog sculptures, and return to Union Station. We will then we will do another loop to Church and Shuter, with a few Points of Interest, and return to Union Station. The length of each loop (and the distance between washroom stops) is about 4 Km. Since we will be downtown, close to Yonge St and University Ave, we will never be more than about 1 Km from a subway station.

The route is entirely on city streets, so please wear shoes or boots appropriate for the weather.

Vehicle parking is available in numerous nearby lots, including one under the parkette at Front and University. The closest public transit is the Union Subway Station. There is now a scheduled subway outage for Sunday. There will be no subway service on Line 1 between Finch and St Clair stations on Saturday, November 13 and Sunday, November 14, 2021 to accommodate work on the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit project.
