Meet at about 10:00 AM EST in front of Broadview subway station. Please remember that the time change to Standard Time occurs this weekend and if you do not change your clock you will be at the start one hour early. We will begin the walk at 10:10 sharp. Patsy will be leading the walk today.
We will walk in a loop of approximately 10 Km and return to the start. We will see Chester Hill Lookout, Todmorden Mills, Evergreen Brickworks, Chorley Park, Integral House, and Riverdale Farm. The route will be on city streets, so please wear shoes or boots appropriate for the weather.
There are three parking lots within about 500m of the start of the walk, but all seem to have fairly high Sunday rates. There may be street parking available on nearby side streets, but the best choice may be to use the subway.
There are no washrooms at the start/finish, but there is a public washroom in the Bloor Station, which may be convenient for some who are using the subway to get to or from the walk. Also, there is a washroom at Withrow Park, about 1.2 Km from the start/finish.
Note that there will be subway outage all weekend between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations, in case this affects your travel plans. Shuttle buses will operate. Please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service#e=0 in case there are any changes.
