Meet at about 10:00 AM in the Great Hall of Union Station (the train station, not the subway station). We usually are near the benches around the north-west corner of the hall but may be somewhere else nearby if there is construction work, etc. Just look for a group of people standing around. We will begin the walk at 10:10 sharp.

The Weather Network is forecasting a cool day (high 0C), with high winds (37 Km/h, gusts to 56 Km/h), so Union Station will provide a warm sheltered location to gather at the start. We will do a two loops loops, first a 6.2 Km loop, then a 4.4 Km loop, for a total distance of 10.4 Km, returning to Union Station in the middle for a washroom break and an early exit to the subway for those wishing to leave at that point.

Since we will be downtown, we should never be more than about 1 Km from a subway station for those who are interested in a shorter walk or if it gets too chilly.

We will stop near the midpoint for a take-out coffee. The Food Court in Union Station will be open for those who want to have lunch or a snack at the end of the walk.

No scheduled subway outages have been posted yet, but please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/Service-Changes in case there are any changes.
