Meet at about 10:00 AM, near the Tim Hortons in the Food Court on the Concourse Level of the Hudson’s Bay Centre (2 Bloor East). The Food Court is on the east side near Park Rd. Those wishing to minimize their indoor time can wait outside on the north-west corner of Bloor and Park Rd, just outside the Hudson Bay Centre, near “The Market by Longo’s”. The closest subway stop is the Bloor-Yonge subway station on Line 1. We will begin the walk at 10:10 sharp.
Elena will lead us on a walk down Church St to St Lawrence Market, over to Riverdale Park and ending at Wellesley Station. We will visit some parks, see some murals, look at some churches, and view some other points of interest. Total distance will be about 9.5 Km. Optionally you can return to the start for a total distance of about 10 Km.
