Itinerary:

Rouge Park is the largest nature park within a metropolitan area in North America. It is slated to be Canada's first National Park within a municipality.
The plan is to hike for about a 10-12km loop through oak, pine and black maple forests. There are lookout points, steep climbs and descents on this trail. We will be hiking at a moderate pace of around 3.5-4km/hr. Somewhere along the way we will stop for lunch/snacks. Make sure to bring something to snack and at least 1.5L of water.
There will be no carpool for this hike. We will meet at the Rouge River Valley Conservation Centre at 11am.
I'll be taking the 86A bus from Kennedy station at 10:11am. You are welcomed to meet me at the bus platform at kennedy station for the 86A bus between 10:00 and 10:11. If you are meeting me at Kennedy station, please specify so in the Notes.

After the hike, and depending on interest, some of us may take the bus to birchmount and ellesmere for an indian vegetarian buffet dinner. If you are interested in this, bring extra ttc tokens and about $10 for the buffet.
