Meet in the Tim Hortons at the south-west corner of College and University, near the Queen's Park Subway Station at about 10:00 AM. The walk will begin at 10:10.
The walk will be about 10 Km. We will walk in a loop, returning to the start. The route will be entirely on city streets or paved paths, so please wear shoes or boots appropriate for the weather.
We will see a few interesting things along the way and end up in Chinatown where we can stop for a snack or lunch. There are washrooms in the Tim Hortons at the start and finish and we will have a coffee stop around the middle at either an Italian or a Portuguese cafe/bakery. There is an additional washroom stop in the UofT.
Since we are downtown (University/Ossington/Harbord/Dundas area) there will be fairly easy access to TTC buses/streetcars for those who do not want to walk the full distance.
