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.
Terry will lead us on a walk around downtown Toronto, visiting Fort York, The Well, and part of The Path. We will stop for coffee at the Tim Hortons at University and College, and will stop for lunch or a snack at Beertown, near Union Station.
When this entry was last updated there were two planned TTC outages. On Sunday, subway service on Line 1 between Osgoode to College stations will be replaced by shuttle buses, and subway service on Line 2 between Ossington to St George stations will be replaced by shuttle buses. Please ensue that you allow yourself enough time, in case this affects your travel plans. However, please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service#e=0 in case there are any changes.
