Itinerary:

Humber River Trail Urban Walk

Please join me as we take a winter walk through Etienne Brule and Magwood parks. We will meet at the front entrance of Old Mill station at Old Mill and Bloor. Old Mill is located on the Bloor subway line between Jane and Royal York stations. For drivers, there is free parking at the park. It is at the foot of the small hill across the bridge on Old Mill.

We will be going at a moderate pace (2-3km/hour) so there will be time for us to take photos and learn about some of the history on the heritage plaques found in the park. On our return to Old Mill Station we will cross the Dundas St overpass and then loop back into the park on the other side of the river via Home Smith Park Road. It's about 6km round trip.

This event will be re-scheduled in the case of severe cold or other adverse weather or if there aren't enough participants.

NOTE: As this is Cheryl's first event as a TOC organizer, please direct all questions/correspondence to her. Cheryl's Mobile: 780-995-4847 - On day of event, text and WhatsApp only.
