Meet at about 10:00 AM in front of Broadview subway station. 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 laneway housing in the Riverdale neighborhood, and have a look at some unique independent coffee shops along the way. We will walk through the revitalized Regent Park neighborhood including a tour of the new community centre and aquatic centre. There will be a lunch stop somewhere near the end of walk.
The route will be on city streets, so please wear shoes or boots appropriate for the weather.
There are no washrooms at the start/finish, but there are three along the route, and 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.
There are currently no scheduled subway outages for this date, but please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service#e=0 in case there are any changes.
