EDIT: Since there is a lot of interest in this event, Elizabeth has agreed to be a co-coordinator. The maximum number of participants has now been increased to 30. We'll divide ourselves in two groups - Elizabeth will lead the faster half, while I'll lead the slower group, trailing by a few minutes. Meeting time and location remain same (10 AM @ Union Station GO Bus Terminal). Doors Open is an annual series of events, when a number of sites in the various Ontario communities open their doors to the general public. There are 150+ Doors Open sites in Toronto this year, and you'll come across multiple ToC events to cover these in the different areas. This particular hike covers 12 places in the Downtown Toronto Lakeshore area. Attractions include marine vessels (including passenger boats, police vessels and fireboats), a locomotive simulator, a miniature train, a brewery, an armoury, museums and gardens. We'll also come across several architecturally and historically significant structures, and see the shiny new Fort York Library. We'll meet at 10:00 AM, at the Union Station GO Bus Terminal, near the Union Station, just south of Bay & Front (no, we're not catching a bus, just need a comfy meeting spot). The hike will end somewhere near the Exhibition Place (5 min walk from the TTC stop).

FAQ
How much time will we spend at the each
site?
Yes, this is a relaxed urban hike, and you're free to leave the group at any point. If you find a site very interesting, and want to spend more time there, feel free to separate from the group. You can abandon the hike or meet us later at the next site. A TTC stop will never be more than a 5-min walk away. Why are we not visiting XYZ? It's not far away from the above-mentioned route! Because we've limited time on our hands. There will be multiple ToC hikes on May 24-25, and they'll cover several other sites. - We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines at all times while participating in TOC events. - Details of this event are subject to undergo a change at any point in time, with or without warning. - Questions about equipment or rentals?
