Meet at about 10:00 AM in front of Pape Station, near the main entrance at ground level . We will begin the walk at 10:10 sharp.
We will walk in a loop to one of Toronto's new parks, Leslie Lookout Park, and back to Pape Station, covering a distance of about 9.5 Km. We will see a number of interesting things along the way.
There will be washrooms near the start and finish, and a Tim Hortons/Starbucks coffee/washroom stop just past the middle of the walk. As we will be in the Leslieville area, there will be several early exits to TTC buses/streetcars for those who do not want to walk the entire distance. We will end up on Danforth Avenue, where there are a number of restaurants or other establishments for a meal or a snack afterwards.
The walk will be entirely on city streets, 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/subway-service#e=0 in case there are any changes.
