Itinerary:


Love the Toronto Islands? Hate the crazy summer crowds? Then join us as we explore Toronto's urban oasis.

We'll be walking from Ward's Island to Hanlan's Point and back again. Along the way you'll learn about the 'white elephant' Ferry Terminal, creep by a haunted lighthouse, play in a giant hedge maze, and more.

The walk will be led by me with unofficial help from my furry mutt Woody.

Pay your $6.50 admission and meet me inside the ferry dock waiting area. Look for me holding a TOC sign. We're taking the 7:30AM ferry.

Finally this walk proceeds rain, or hopefully, shine. Only sign up if you are an all-weather walker.

Required Items to Bring:
Warm clothing/footwear. It is always colder on the Island and paths aren't always cleared of snow. 		Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.


Food, snacks, drinks. There won't be many places to buy stuff once we're there and we will stop once to eat what we bring.
