❄️🥾Mount Pleasant Cemetery Winter Walk and Lunch! (6KM)
Historical Plaque - Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 1639 Yonge St, Toronto, ON, CA# ❄️🥾Mount Pleasant Cemetery Winter Walk
### Toronto’s Most Peaceful Winter Walk
Join me for a gentle 90-minute winter stroll through one of Toronto’s most beautiful hidden gems — Mount Pleasant Cemetery. This isn’t just a cemetery — it’s like walking through a living museum and botanical garden, full of winding paths, tall evergreens, and peaceful charm.
It’s also one of the best places in the city to meet friendly people, share good conversation, and soak in the quiet magic of winter.
💫 Did you know?
When Mount Pleasant first opened in 1876, it was a Victorian-day destination! Torontonians would dress up, hop on a streetcar, and spend the day here picnicking and strolling before heading back downtown.

### 🕚 Meetup Details
Meetup Time: 11:00am (I’ll wait 5 minutes)
Meetup Spot: Inside the main gates of Mount Pleasant Cemetery at the Yonge Street entrance (the one with the big stone archway).
Look for me — I’ll be wearing my famous Moose Hat! 🦌
End Spot: Right back where we started.
