❄️🚶♀️ EXPLORATION WALK OF YORKVILLE & U of T — 6KM 🎓✨
Rosedale Subway Station, 7 Crescent Road, Toronto, ON, CA❄️🚶♀️ EXPLORATION WALK: YORKVILLE & U OF T – 6 KM 🎓🏙️
Because winter is temporary… but missing this walk is forever.
“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”
So layer up, zip up, and let’s romanticize January like true Torontonians 😌❄️
This walk explores two parts of the city that started out the same — and then went in completely different directions. One got glitzier. One stayed timeless. Both are very walkable, dramatic, and worth showing up for.
***
### THE WALK 🗺️✨
We’ll start and end at Rosedale Subway Station, making a glorious winter loop.
• Rosedale Park 🌳 – quiet, elegant, and shockingly peaceful.
• Yorkville 💎 – once wealthy, then a hippie coffee-shop haven, and now one of the richest neighbourhoods in the city. Full-circle glow-up.
• University of Toronto 🏛️ – once reserved for Toronto’s elite, now open to everyone. Unlike Yorkville, it’s beautifully frozen in time, with historic buildings that haven’t changed much — except for the degrees inside them.
• Bamboo Forest at U of T 🎋 – we’ll try to sneak a peek if it’s open (because mystery is part of the fun).
☕ WARM-UP BREAK:
We’ll make a 30-minute stop at Tim Hortons to thaw our fingers, grab food and drinks, and question why winter feels personal.
***
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
• Do NOT sign up if you’re not ready to walk in winter ❄️
• This walk happens in snow, cold, wind, or vibes
• Event will only be cancelled if it hits -20°C (because we are sensible, not soft)
***

❄️🥾Mount Pleasant Cemetery Winter Walk and Lunch! (6KM)
Historical Plaque - Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 1639 Yonge St, Toronto, ON, CA# ❄️🥾Mount Pleasant Cemetery Winter Walk
### Toronto’s Most Peaceful Winter Walk
Join me for a gentle 90-minute winter stroll through one of Toronto’s most beautiful hidden gems — Mount Pleasant Cemetery. This isn’t just a cemetery — it’s like walking through a living museum and botanical garden, full of winding paths, tall evergreens, and peaceful charm.
It’s also one of the best places in the city to meet friendly people, share good conversation, and soak in the quiet magic of winter.
💫 Did you know?
When Mount Pleasant first opened in 1876, it was a Victorian-day destination! Torontonians would dress up, hop on a streetcar, and spend the day here picnicking and strolling before heading back downtown.
***
### 🕚 Meetup Details
Meetup Time: 11:00am (I’ll wait 5 minutes)
Meetup Spot: Inside the main gates of Mount Pleasant Cemetery at the Yonge Street entrance (the one with the big stone archway).
Look for me — I’ll be wearing my famous Moose Hat! 🦌
End Spot: Right back where we started.
***
### 🍗 Lunch After
After the walk, join us for a cozy lunch at Swiss Chalet! Great food, friendly prices, and warm vibes — the perfect way to wrap up a winter morning.
***
### 💲 Meetup Fee
$5 cash in person or E-transfer to:
📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com**
(This small fee helps support the group and future events!)
***
### 🧣 What to Bring
- Warm boots and layers
- Hat and gloves
- A drink to keep you cozy ☕
- A small snack if you like
☃️ Weather: This walk happens in any kind of weather (we’ll only cancel if it’s -20°C or colder).
