Don Valley Ravine Trail Hike

Don Valley Ravines are peaking in beauty now especially with Fall approaching. You will also get some good exercise. It more an intermediate hike. Lets get another good turn out. After of course the we will visit the very nice outdoors Farmers Market. If there is enough interest after the hike, we can walk to nearby Yorkville and go to Kupfert and Kim vegan cafe/ restaurant. And after that maybe we can go to the nearby Indigo Bookstore and play their nice piano which I would do and anyone else. That sounds like a nice way to start out Saturday. Be sure to bring water and some snacks. I find apples to be very good for hikes. We meet at Sherborne Station at 10 am. Please be on time as hikers like to get on the trails early.

Food evolution in poorly-planned neighbourhoods (6 km)

**Attendance policy is enforced for this hike**. See below for details. Liberty Village and CItyPlace are two high-density neighbourhoods that are examples of how not to do urban planning.

End the hike at a trio of casual restaurants: classic burgers, grilled chicken, or Thai street food—all the top of their kind in Toronto. **Highlights** 1. Haydn's Acaí at Stackt Market (depart 6:30 pm) 2. Puente de Luz 3. Mailo's 4. Canoe Landing Community Recreation Centre (depart 6:55 pm) 5. Parade condos 6. Roywoods 7. Fort York / The Bentway 8.
