Join us for a relaxed walk from **Pioneer Village Station to Finch Station**, travelling through Black Creek Parkland and along the **Finch Recreational Trail**. This is one of our members' favourite walks for a reason. The route is mostly flat and takes us through open fields, wooded areas, and quiet green spaces that feel surprisingly far removed from the city.

The air is cooler, the leaves are changing, and the open stretches of the trail give you plenty of room to slow down and enjoy the season. It's a good walk if you want to get outside without feeling like you're climbing a mountain. And as always, **the activity is the container. The people you meet along the way are the real experience.** *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** Outside Pioneer Village Station, at the corner of Steeles Avenue West and Northwest Gate (East Side), in front of the York University sign. 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time:** 11:00 AM sharp I will only wait **5 minutes**. **Early is on time.

Fall Walk: From Cabbagetown to Cherry Street 🌿 🍺

# 🍂 Fall Walk: From Rosedale to Cherry Street 🌿 ### A Fall Walk Through Some of Toronto's Most Interesting Neighbourhoods Looking for a walk that gives you a little bit of everything? We'll start in **Rosedale**, make our way through **Cabbagetown and Regent Park**, wander through the **Distillery District**, stop at **Biidaasige Park**, and finish with a well-earned meal at **Cherry Street Bar-B-Que**. Along the way, we'll see some of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, newer communities, historic architecture, green spaces, and some pretty great views. It's a longer walk, but the route is more about **exploring Toronto together** than trying to finish as quickly as possible. 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll meet outside **Rosedale Station** and begin our walk through Rosedale Valley, following the tree-lined route toward Cabbagetown. Along the way we'll: * Walk through Rosedale Valley 🌳 * Explore the historic streets of Cabbagetown * Pass through Regent Park * Wander through the Distillery District * Stop at Biidaasige Park * Take in the fall scenery and city views * Finish at **Cherry Street Bar-B-Que** 🍖 The walk includes a **long set of stairs**, so while this isn't a difficult hike, you should be comfortable walking for several hours and keeping up with the group. *** ## 🏙️ A Little Toronto History Along the Way This walk takes us through several very different parts of Toronto. In **Cabbagetown**, we'll pass beautifully preserved Victorian homes and streets that reflect the neighbourhood's long history, including its Irish roots. We'll then make our way through **Regent Park**, one of Toronto's most historically significant communities, where older social housing has been joined by new housing, arts, and community spaces. From there, we'll head into the **Distillery District**, with its cobblestone streets and historic red-brick buildings. We'll also stop at **Biidaasige Park**, whose name means *“the sun is shining”* in Anishinaabemowin. It's a lot of Toronto in one walk. *** ## 🍺 The Keating Channel Pub & Grill We'll finish our walk at **The Keating Channel Pub & Grill**, right on the Keating Channel. There's a bit of history behind this stop. The pub struggled during the massive Port Lands construction, when road closures and the relocation of the Cherry Street bridge made the area difficult to reach. With the Port Lands now transformed and **Biidaasige Park** open, people are rediscovering this part of the city — and the pub is getting a second chance. After exploring the new park and the transformed Port Lands, we'll finish at one of the neighbourhood's old survivors: a casual waterfront pub with a patio overlooking the Keating Channel. *** ## ☀️ Weather & Expectations This is a **long urban walk**, not a difficult hike, but you should be comfortable being on your feet for several hours. There is a long set of stairs along the route. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** Outside Rosedale Station 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time:** 11:00 AM sharp I will only wait **5 minutes**. **Early is on time. On time is late.** 🏁 **End Point:** Cherry Street Bar-B-Que *** ## 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$5 cash in person or e-transfer** 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue organizing events throughout Toronto. *** ## 🎒 What to Bring 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 🥪 A snack 🧴 Sunscreen 🧥 Weather-appropriate clothing *** ## 🌈 Who Is This For? This walk is great for: * People who enjoy exploring Toronto * Anyone who likes history and architecture * People looking for a longer social walk * Anyone who wants to discover neighbourhoods they might not normally visit * People who enjoy stopping for food at the end * Anyone who wants to spend a Sunday exploring the city with other people The destination isn't really the point. **It's the people you meet along the way.** You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule. Sometimes things happen and events may need to be cancelled or changed, so please keep an eye on the event page for updates. 👤 **Organizer: Mathew** Questions? Post on the event wall or email **torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com**. **Come for the walk.** **Stay for the friendship.** **And maybe stay a little longer for lunch.** 🍺🌿

🐟Walk: Salmon Run at Humber River & James Gardens 🍂

# 🐟 Salmon Run at Humber River & James Gardens 🍂 ### An Easy Fall Walk — With a Pretty Amazing Natural Show Along the Way Every fall, something incredible happens right here in Toronto. Salmon make their way upstream through the **Humber River**, battling rapids and leaping through the water as they return to freshwater to spawn. And yes — you can actually see them doing it. Join us for a relaxed, social walk along the Humber River during salmon run season. We'll spend about 30 minutes by the river watching for salmon before continuing along the trail toward **James Gardens**. This isn't a difficult hike. It's a chance to get outside, enjoy the fall scenery, see something you might not normally experience in the city, and spend some time with other people along the way. ✨ **Fun Fact:** Some salmon travel more than 3,000 km from the Atlantic Ocean to reach freshwater rivers like the Humber. After all that distance, they still have to battle rapids and leap over obstacles to reach their spawning grounds. Nature really doesn't mess around. 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll begin outside the station and make our way toward the Humber River. Along the way we'll: * Walk along the Humber River * Stop for approximately 30 minutes to look for salmon * Watch the salmon making their way upstream * Continue along the river toward James Gardens * Take a break at **James Gardens** * Enjoy the fall scenery and take some photos * Make our way back toward the station The walk is approximately **90 minutes**, depending on the pace of the group and how long we spend watching the salmon. And remember — **the salmon are wild animals.** We can't guarantee exactly how many we'll see, or how long they'll put on a show. That's part of the fun! *** ## 🍂 Why Come? The salmon run is one of those strange little Toronto experiences that you can easily miss if you don't know when and where to look. One minute you're walking through the city. The next, you're standing beside a river watching salmon fight their way upstream. We'll also visit **James Gardens**, one of those beautiful green spaces that can make you forget you're still in Toronto. Bring your camera, bring your curiosity, and come see what the Humber has to offer in the fall. *** ## ☀️ Weather & Expectations This walk takes place outdoors in typical Toronto fall weather. Please dress appropriately for the conditions and wear comfortable walking shoes. The trail may be damp or muddy depending on recent weather. Bring water and a snack, and dress in layers — fall weather can change quickly. *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** Right outside the station 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time: 11:00 AM** I will only wait **5 minutes**. **Early is on time. On time is late.** 🏁 **End Point:** Back at the station *** ## 🎟️ Meetup Fee **$5 cash in person or e-transfer** 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue organizing events throughout Toronto. *** ## 🎒 What to Bring 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 🥪 A snack 🧴 Sunscreen if it's sunny 📷 A camera or phone for photos *** ## 🌈 Who Is This For?
