Wilder Series: The Even Wilder Loop

**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/wilder-loop-fall-26)** **We're heading somewhere new, and it's wilder than anything else in the series.** This is the first time WU is running the Even Wilder Loop, and it's the next step up in our Wilder Series, our lineup for those chasing bigger days out. The name isn't subtle. This is a remote, rugged backcountry in a less visited part of the park, and you'll feel it from the first kilometre. The trail climbs and drops hard in places, with some scrambles along the way where you'll need your hands as well as your feet. Between the climbs, it opens onto barrens and meadows, and you'll see plenty of beaver dams along the way. Partway through, the river crossing takes us through some rapids. It's only 8.5 km, but it's some of the wildest 8.5 km we run. ***Secret Location*** This is one of Wilderness Union's 'secret' hikes. As a group, we visit some truly special spots that are undiscovered by the wider world. We like to keep them pristine and only share them among our members - we ask that you do the same! We reveal the location to registered members in the days before the trip. **Accessibility** Wilderness Union is committed to making our adventures as accessible as possible. If you wish to make an accommodation request relating to a disability or provide feedback, please do so by sending an email to info@wildernessunion.com **Highlights** **The Rapids Crossing:** The most memorable stretch of the day. You will get wet! **Wildlife Spotting:** Bears, moose, beavers and loons are just some of the creatures that call this area home. You'll have a chance to spot some from a safe distance for a magical encounter. **A WU First:** Nobody in the crew has done this loop with us before. You'll be part of the first group on it. **Itinerary** **07:00** \- Shuttle leaves from near Keele station **10:00 - 15:00** \- Hike loop at secret location **15:00** \- Anticipated return to cars **18:00** \- Anticipated return to Toronto **Event cost: $66+HST. $50+HST optional transport also available. Please register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/wilder-loop-fall-26)** **About Wilderness Union** Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people. Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad. Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming! ***Learn more at our website [www.wildernessunion.com](https://www.wildernessunion.com/)***

Toronto Urban Playground Parkour Fundamentals

If you have ever watched someone navigate a park bench or a concrete ledge and thought that looks like fun, this session is for you. We are getting together at the park to break down the fundamentals of parkour in a way that is accessible and straightforward. Whether you are completely new to movement or just want to brush up on your landings, rolls, and basic vaults, we keep the focus on building confidence and control in a supportive environment. Expect to spend the time moving at your own pace while we work through some drills together. We prioritize safety and technical understanding over flashy tricks, so you do not need to be an athlete to join in. Just bring comfortable shoes, some water, and an open mind. If you have been looking for a reason to get outside and explore the city through a different lens, we would love to have you join us. Please let us know if you can make it by clicking the RSVP button so we know how many people to expect. Spots are limited and registration is required.

🍁 The Fall Colours of Brickworks (Thanksgiving Walk) 🍂

🍁 **The Fall Colours of Brickworks (Thanksgiving Walk)** 🍂 Celebrate Thanksgiving with a scenic fall walk through Toronto’s ravines as we make our way to **Evergreen Brick Works**. Along the way, enjoy the crisp autumn air, brilliant fall colours, and a peaceful escape from the city. We’ll spend about **30 minutes exploring the Brick Works**, taking in its history, trails, and unique setting before heading back through **Mount Pleasant Cemetery** — one of Toronto’s largest and oldest cemeteries, with plenty of history and beautiful seasonal scenery. For those who’d like to keep the day going, we’ll finish with a cozy **Thanksgiving lunch at Swiss Chalet**. Their seasonal special is expected to be around **$18.29 plus tax and tip** and includes stuffing, cranberry sauce, your choice of side, a roll, and a slice of pie — a pretty good way to finish a Thanksgiving walk! 🦃🥧 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ### Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** I will be standing outside of ST. CLAIR SUBWAT STATION right beside the McDonald wearing my Moose Hat. 🦌 🕛 **Meetup Time:** 12:00pm **I will only wait 5 minutes.** 💲 **Meetup Fee:** $5 cash 💵 or e-transfer 📲 to **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** 📍 **Ending Spot:** Swiss Chalet, a few blocks from the station. Planning to join us for lunch? Please let me know so I can give Swiss Chalet a rough estimate of how many people to expect. They don’t take reservations, but I’d like to give them an approximate number so they can be prepared for our group. 🍁 **Please note:** Swiss Chalet is a continuation of this event, not a separate event for anyone joining us for the walk. If you are attending the Brick Works walk **and** joining us for lunch at Swiss Chalet, you only pay the **$5 Meetup fee once**. If you are **only joining us at Swiss Chalet** and are not attending the walk, please sign up for the separate Swiss Chalet event. The **$5 Meetup fee applies** to that event. *** ### What to Bring * Water * Good walking shoes 👟 * A jacket or extra layer — fall weather can change quickly * Your camera or phone if you want to capture the colours! 📸 *** ### More About the Brick Works 🧱 From 1889 through the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canada’s leading brickyards. In the 1990s, the former quarry was restored by the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, transforming the site into the natural and cultural destination we know today. Opened to the public in 1996, Evergreen Brick Works now combines history, nature, wildlife, and trails in the heart of Toronto’s ravine system. In autumn, the surrounding landscape comes alive with reds, oranges, and golds, making it one of the city's great places to enjoy the fall colours. *** ✨ **Not sure yet? You can just show up on the day!** ⚠️ **Sometimes things happen and I may need to cancel. Please watch for updates before heading out.** 👤 **Organized by Mathew.** For questions, post on the Meetup wall or email **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)**
