Itinerary:

So, I realized on Friday that I'm not going outside for like 4 days in a row over the Family Day long weekend.
Because of this, I've decided to put up a small hike to ensure I get a tiny bit of exercise this weekend.

This 5 KM hike will both start and finish at North York Centre Station.

The hike will be completely on sidewalks or paved cemetery roads.

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 ON AMAZON'.


Required Items to Bring:
  • Hiking boots / hiking shoes
  • Weather appropriate clothing
  • Water
    		• Recommended Items to Bring:

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    We'll meet outside the Starbucks at North York Centre Subway Station.
    The Starbucks is located on the west of Yonge St and on the north side of Mel Lastman Square and across the street from Empress Walk Mall.

    For those driving:

    Address for the Starbucks is 5140 Yonge St.

    There is street parking in the area, west of Beecroft Rd

    Or, there's a pay parking lot on the North- East corner at Empress/Park Home and Yonge Street, which is three traffic lights north of Sheppard Ave.
    Then it's just a short walk to the Starbucks, which is located south of Empress/Park Home on the west side.

    Look for me in the Blue Toronto Outdoor Club T-Shirt.
