🎆❄️ New Year’s Day Walk: Toronto Island!

🎆❄️ New Year’s Day Walk: Toronto Island
Walk off the hangover. Start fresh. Do something different.

Let’s be real — January 1st can go one of two ways:
You stay on the couch all day… or you step outside, breathe in fresh air, move your body, and actually start the year feeling good.

Join us for a New Year’s Day walk on Toronto Island — the perfect way to reset after the night before, try something new, and maybe even make a few new friends while you’re at it. Yes, I will be hungover. That’s why we’re starting at 1:15 PM 😏🍾

Being surrounded by water and nature can be surprisingly calming. The Islands offer a quiet place to slow down, clear your head, and start the year feeling grounded — no mystical claims, just fresh air and space to think.

Whether you’re setting healthy intentions, shaking off the fog, or just refusing to let January win — this walk is for you.

“There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”
So layer up, grab your warmest coat, and let’s make January 1st a choice, not a write-off ❄️💪

Miss this and your New Year officially starts on January 2nd. Just saying.
