Itinerary:

We'll meet at Steeles Ave W at Murray Ross Parkway (near Steeles and Jane), at 3 PM. You can reach this place via TTC 60 - Steeles (from Finch Station), 35 - Jane (from Jane Station) or other buses that serve the York University area.

As part of Doors Open Toronto, the Black Creek Pioneer Village will open its Flynn House to the public (Admission is free). This building is the focus of a restoration project, and will be open to the public first time since 2010. The Flynn House tells the story of Irish immigrant Daniel Flynn and his family, who lived in Toronto in the 1850s. You can also explore other areas in the village.

After leaving the village, we'll explore the Black Creek ravine system, covering the Black Creek Parkland, Derrydowns Park, Topcliff Park, Northwood Park and Downsview Dells.

After exiting the Downsview Dells, we'll proceed to Keele St at Wilson Ave, from where you can catch a TTC bus to the Wilson Station, or walk for another 4 km to reach the Wilson Station.

FAQ

Why 3 PM? Why not earlier?
Unfortunately, I've other commitments in the first half of the day. If you're concerned about wasting the first half of the day, you can arrive early, and explore other nearby Doors Open attractions: the Black Creek Community Farm (10-min walk) and the Archives of Ontario (20-min walk).
