Meet at about 10:00 AM at Victoria Park Station in the parking lot on east side of Victoria Park Avenue, just south of the subway station. We will begin the walk at 10:10 sharp.
We will walk in a loop, going about 7.3 Km and returning to the start, with two bathroom stops. At the beginning of the walk, we will visit a new modular subsidized housing unit finished about two years ago on Macy Avenue. Then we will proceed to Warden Woods trail up to St. Clair, then west along St. Clair to the Dawes Road Cemetery. We will then south go through the cemetery and take side streets to Pharmacy and Victoria Park. From Victoria Park we take a trail down to the Don River and then east back to Victoria Park station.
The route will be entirely on city streets or paved paths, so please wear shoes or boots appropriate for the weather.
There is a scheduled outage on Line 1 (Yonge-University)–St Clair West to King stations all weekend, but please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/Service-Changes in case there are any changes. Allow extra time if this affects your travel plans. Shuttle busses will be running.
