Please note that there are no spaces left for the lunch get-together at Carmelle's condo, but feel free to join us for the walk.
Also note that the times change to EDT this weekend, and if you don't move your clocks ahead one hour, you will be late for the walk.
At about 10:00 AM, meet at King Subway Station, outside the turnstiles, underground, on the level where the fare booth is located. The walk will start at 10:10. We will first go to the condo if there is anything you need to drop off, then do a walk of about 7Km, and will end up back at the party room in the condo at 1:00 PM. Total distance, including to and from King Station will be about 9 Km.
A shorter version will offer a stop at Tim Hortons for about 30 minutes, providing a distance of about 5 Km from the party room and back, and a total distance of about 7 Km including King Station.
The route will be entirely on sidewalks, so please wear shoes or boots appropriate for the weather.
There will no subway service on Line 1 between St George and St Andrew stations today, due to planned track work. Shuttle buses will not be operating due to construction along the route. Please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service#e=0 in case there are any changes.
