The Historic Eastern Beaches! (NEW FOR 2026)

The Historic Eastern Beaches! (NEW FOR 2026)

\*\***The Toronto History Walks Yearly Pass is available. Get it now for $125.00 for 1 year of unlimited tours, email** [torontohistorywalks@gmail.com](http://torontohistorywalks@gmail.com%2A%2A/) **for more information or for signing up!\*\*** \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket price when booking your space for this tour! You can e-transfer to the following email at:** [torontohistorywalks@gmail.com](http://torontohistorywalks@gmail.com%2A%2A/) **This tour is a revised route for 2026.** The area was first settled in 1794 by the Ashbridge family, whose name is remembered by the nearby bay and park. Their homestead on Queen Street East was well to the west of the area currently identified as the Beaches. A later generation of the Ashbridge family rebuilt the family home in 1854 and can be seen on Queen Street East opposite the TTC barns near Kingston Road. The Beaches remained a sparely settled community until the end of the 19th century when extension of the Grand Truck Railway, the draining of the northern parts of Ashbridges Bay, and the construction of street car tracks on Queen Street and Kingston Road, opened the area to settlement. From Sunnyside Amusement Park built in 1922 to Scarboro Beach built in 1906, it seemed that Toronto cornered the market on summertime chills and thrills. We had 5 major amusement parks along our waterfront, and two smaller parks, Victoria Park and Munro Park, virtually unknown to Torontonians today, but extremely popular summertime places, years ago as pleasure parks. This walking tour is for all walking levels and fitness skills. Please dress for the season and bring water. And remember to bring your love of history. It begins outside the Beaches Branch of the Toronto Public Library at Queen Street East, and Lee Avenue adjacent to Kew Gardens. The tour ends where we started, back at the library. This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person. \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket price when booking your space for this tour!

# 🍂🌊 FALL WALK: TORONTO ISLANDS 🌊🍁 ### Island Paths, Fall Colours & Toronto's Best Urban Escape There is something magical about the Toronto Islands in the fall. Once the summer crowds disappear, the islands become quieter and more peaceful. The changing leaves, crisp air, open green spaces, quiet cottages, and golden light over the water make it one of the best times of year to explore. And then there's the skyline. From the islands, you get some of the best views of Toronto anywhere in the city — especially when the fall colours frame the downtown skyline across the water. Join us for a relaxed fall walk through **Hanlan's Point, Centre Island, and Ward's Island**, enjoying the scenery, fresh air, and great conversation along the way. This is approximately **9 km**, with mostly flat paths and no major hills. It's a longer walk, but the pace will be relaxed and we'll take breaks along the way 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll take the **10:15 AM Ward's Island Ferry** and begin our walk once we arrive. Our route will take us through: 🌿 Hanlan's Point 🍂 Centre Island 🏡 Ward's Island 📸 Skyline viewpoints 🌊 Waterfront pathways 🍁 Fall foliage and quiet island roads We'll stop along the way to enjoy the scenery, take photos, have a snack, and spend some time getting to know each other. Although we'll pass several beaches, **we won't be stopping at them during this event**. We have a route to follow and a ferry to catch! Our return ferry will be the **2:45 PM Ward's Island Ferry** back to downtown Toronto. Expect approximately **3½ to 4 hours**, including the ferry rides and breaks. *** ## 🍁 Fall Weather & Expectations The islands can feel quite different from downtown Toronto, especially in the fall. Expect cooler temperatures, wind off the lake, and changing weather. Please dress in layers and bring a jacket or sweater. This is a **social walk, not a guided historical tour**. I'll share interesting facts along the way, but the focus is enjoying the islands together. *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** **INSIDE the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal after your ticket has been scanned.** We are meeting **inside the paid waiting area beside the washrooms.** **Please do NOT wait outside the terminal.** Once your ferry ticket has been scanned, walk into the waiting area and you'll find me wearing my **Moose Hat**. 🫎 ⏰ **Meetup Time:** **10:00 AM** 🚢 **Ward's Island Ferry LEAVES AT:** **10:15 AM** Please be on time. **Once the ferry leaves, it will be extremely difficult to catch up with the group.** 🚢 **Return Ferry:** 2:45 PM from Ward's Island 🎟️ **Ferry Ticket:** $9.19 You must purchase your ferry ticket **before signing up for the event.** [CLICK HERE FOR FERRY TICKETS](https://secure.toronto.ca/FerryTicketOnline/tickets2/index.jsp) *** ## 🎟️ 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 🧥 A warm fall jacket or sweater 🕶️ Sunglasses 📸 Camera or phone for photos *** ## 🌈 Who Is This For? This walk is great for: * Anyone who loves fall 🍂 * People who enjoy exploring Toronto's parks * Anyone looking for a longer but easy walk * People who enjoy beautiful scenery and photography * Anyone who wants to meet new people * People who want to escape the city without actually leaving it The activity is the container. **The people you meet along the way are the real experience.** *** **Come for the island paths.** **Stay for the fall colours.** **Leave feeling like you spent the day on vacation — without ever leaving Toronto.** 🍂🌊 You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule. Sometimes plans change and events may need to be cancelled, so please keep an eye on the event page for updates. 👤 **Organizer: Mathew** Questions?
