Join us for a peaceful evening under the November full moon on Wards Island Beach, one of Toronto’s quietest and most scenic spots. We’ll meet at the ferry terminal at 3:45 p.m., board the 4:00 ferry, and walk a short distance to the beach to watch the moonrise over Lake Ontario.

Bring snacks, beverages, and warm layers - it will be colder, windier, and more humid near the water. There are no open amenities on the island this time of year, so pack anything you need to stay comfortable.

We’ll enjoy the view, share good vibes, and head back on the 7:30 p.m. ferry.

Schedule:

3:45 p.m. — Meet at Jack Layton Ferry Terminal

4:00 p.m. — Ferry departs to Wards Island

4:15–7:15 p.m. — Moon viewing and social at the beach

7:30 p.m. — Return ferry to the city

Notes:

Dress warmly and bring your own supplies.

Please RSVP only if attending. No-shows will be flagged to create opportunities for everyone to participate.

This one’s for the bold. ❄️

Join the Toronto Outdoor Adventures Club for a winter BBQ on Olympic Island, overlooking Toronto’s skyline in total peace and quiet.
During winter, the ferry goes only to Wards Island, so we’ll walk about 2 km (25–30 minutes) to Olympic Island. The path is scenic and flat, with views of the frozen lake and city skyline.
At Olympic Island, we’ll fire up one of the raised BBQ pits and enjoy a cozy outdoor meal with unbeatable views. I’ll bring the 8 kg bag of charcoal, plates, and cutlery — just bring whatever you want grilled (meats, veggies, corn, bread, etc.) and your adventurous spirit. I’ll be your grill master for the day.

Why trek all the way out here for a BBQ in winter? Because no one else will. The island will be ours — quiet, secluded, and beautiful.

Plan:

• 12:00 p.m. — Meet at Jack Layton Ferry Terminal
• 12:15 p.m. — Ferry to Wards Island
• 12:45 p.m. — Walk to Olympic Island (≈2 km / 25–30 min)
• 1:15–4:30 p.m. — BBQ, relax, enjoy the skyline view
• 5:00 p.m. — Head back toward ferry

What to bring:
🥩 Food to grill
🥤 Drinks
🧣 Warm layers
🪑 Optional: folding chair or blanket

Note:
Outdoor winter event — dress warmly, and RSVP only if attending.
