If you are looking for something to do when the weather is too cool for comfortable cycling, why not join us for some fun and social walks. Starting in the fall (exact date to be determined), we will run a full schedule of City Walks. We will have a walk every Sunday, starting at the usual time of 10:00 AM. As we did last year, we also intend to offer some walks on Thursdays this fall, again starting at 10:00 AM. Our Fall walk schedule will be provided in the Calendar in advance, and these walks will continue until just before Christmas. In the winter, from the beginning of January until it is nice enough to cycle in the spring, we will offer a more informal program of Winter City Walks, also starting Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM, (and perhaps on some weekdays, too). The start point, end point, and route will not be announced until a few days before the walk. This allows us to select a route appropriate for the expected weather conditions, reflect current events, or other items of interest. City Walks start at various locations around Toronto, and typically:
If you are interested in helping us prepare for the upcoming season, please plan to attend one of our City Walk Planning Meetings, or if you are unable to attend, please email me at citywalks@tbn.ca with any suggestions you may have. We will have two City Walk planning meetings, one in person on a patio, and the second online using Zoom. If you are interested in having some input or have some suggestions, please join us. The first City Walk planning meeting will be an in-person event at The Pilot, 22 Cumberland St (near Yonge and Bloor), an historic watering hole with a partially covered rooftop patio, which provides shade from the sun and protection from the rain. We will meet on Saturday, September 16, at 2:00 PM on the 3rd floor rooftop patio. There may be live music on another floor, but if you tell them you are going to the rooftop patio, there is no charge. (Please note that the weekend brunch menu will be in effect until 2:30 PM, and the regular menu will be in effect after 2:30 PM). The second meeting will be an on-line Zoom meeting, Tuesday, September 19 at 7:00 PM. I have set these meetings up as TBN events in the calendar, which will require you to register. This way I will know how many people will be attending in person at The Pilot, and be able to email the Zoom link to people registered for the online meeting, to prevent Zoom bombing. Topics that we may discuss are:
Please email me at citywalks@tbn.ca if you have any questions or suggestions or are interested in leading a walk. Looking forward to seeing you on a walk, John Burdett – City Walk Coordinator | ![]() City Walks |
