About us
🌦️ There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather – Walking & Hiking Group 🚶♂️🚶♀️
.........Only bad clothing choices.
Weather Warriors welcome!
This is not your typical walking/Hiking group — and that’s very much on purpose. This group is for people who love being outside, who enjoy walking in all seasons, and who understand that weather isn’t something we wait out — it’s something we walk with. Rain, snow, wind, heat, grey skies, sunshine… this is Toronto, and this is the experience. We are weather warriors 🌬️☔❄️🌞 — we show up prepared, adaptable, and ready to move.
Toronto is one of the greenest cities in the world, filled with ravines, neighbourhood routes, parks, trails, and hidden gems. This group will explore 50+ walking and hiking routes across the city, always transit-accessible, always grounded in connection, movement, and shared experience.
Our walks are on the leisure side — not too slow, not too fast — designed for people who want to move their bodies and talk while doing it. This is a social walking group. By the end of a walk, the hope is that you’ve met someone new, shared a conversation, or simply enjoyed being part of a group moving together.
Here’s what makes us different 👇
We don’t cancel walks just because of the weather. Other groups do — we don’t. Walks go ahead rain or shine. Sometimes routes may be adjusted, shortened, or adapted based on conditions, but the expectation is simple: when you sign up, we’re going.
That means this group is best suited for people who:
🌤️ Check the weather before they RSVP
🧥 Know what conditions they’re comfortable walking in
☂️ Dress for the forecast (boots, umbrellas, layers — all welcome)
🧠 Take ownership of their decision to attend
🤝 Understand that an RSVP is a commitment to the group
You are always welcome to:
– Join the group and attend only the walks that suit you
– Decide on the day and show up without RSVPing
– RSVP later once you’re confident the weather meets your needs
What doesn’t work here is signing up in advance and cancelling last-minute because the weather wasn’t what you expected. When people RSVP, others plan around that — routes, pacing, safety, and the shared sense of “we’re doing this together.” That follow-through matters in this group.
Extreme or unsafe conditions (severe cold, extreme heat, dangerous wind) will always be an organizer call. This isn’t about being reckless — it’s about being prepared, realistic, and grounded.
Above all, this is a friendly, respectful, easy-going community. Everyone is welcome. Everyone is treated with care. We also respect boundaries: no unsolicited messages, no pressure, no assumptions. Connection happens naturally, on the walk.
If you’re looking for a walking group that embraces the seasons, values commitment, and believes that showing up — in life and in weather — is kind of the point… you’re in the right place 🌲👣

🌸🌆 FLEURS DE VILLES: FLORA – BLOOR-YORKVILLE FLOWER WALK AND DINNER 🌆🌸
Toronto Reference Library, Ground Floor, 789, Yonge St,, Toronto, ON, CA🌸🌆 FLEURS DE VILLES: FLORA – BLOOR-YORKVILLE FLOWER WALK 🌆🌸
A Floral Trail, City Streets & A Peak Bloom Experience
For a few days each year, Bloor-Yorkville transforms into something completely different — a curated, walkable floral experience right in the heart of the city.
Join us for Fleurs de Villes: FLORA, a one-of-a-kind event where local florists, designers, and businesses come together to “flower-bomb” the neighbourhood with stunning installations.
And here’s the bonus — we’re going earlier in the week, right during peak viewing time.
That means fresher displays, fewer crowds, and the best chance to experience everything at its fullest.
Expect to see over 30 creative floral displays popping up in unexpected places — from fashion-inspired mannequins to floral archways, window installations, and even edible creations along the way.
This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social walk — come explore, wander, and take it all in together.

🚶♂️ What We’ll Do
We’ll meet at the Toronto Reference Library and begin our walk through the Bloor-Yorkville area, following the floral trail and discovering installations as we go.
There’s no rush — we’ll take our time, stop for photos, and enjoy the creativity of each display.
After the walk, we’ll head over to Jack Astor's for food, drinks, and a chance to hang out and connect. 🍔🍹
You’re welcome to join for food or head out whenever you like.
