Itinerary:

So, I've was doing some research for another hike and I came across this random path along the Lavender Creek that I'd like to try.
If it works, then great, if it doesn't well I'll not do it again.
Might as well give'er a try.

This 10.5 KM hike will travel between Old Mill Station & Dundas West Station.

PACE: We'll aim for a pace of 4- 5 km/h

The hike will be on a combination paved trails, park roads & grassy fields

In terms of hills, 3 hills of about 25 meters as well as a long flight of stairs towards the end of the hike.

We'll stop for a washroom at the McDonalds located 7.5 KM into the hike.

Post hike, if anyone's interested, I'm going to head over to King Slice and a slice of their amazing pizza, if you'd like to join me.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.
