❄️🚶‍♂️ JANUARY WALK: SPADINA ➡️ WATERFRONT AND LUNCH!

❄️🚶‍♂️ JANUARY WALK: SPADINA ➡️ WATERFRONT + LUNCH & DAY DRINKING 🍔🍹

Because winter doesn’t scare us — we scare winter.
“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”
So layer up, grab your cutest toque, and let’s make January our personality 😏

Join us for a city walk through some of Toronto’s most iconic neighbourhoods, ending with lunch, drinks, and that smug feeling you get when you actually leave the house in winter. Miss this and your January will officially be beige. FOMO will be real.

### THE WALK 🗺️✨

We’ll start at Spadina Station and head south, soaking up the city one fabulous step at a time.
• Kensington Market 🛍️ – over 100 years of history, culture, and vibes. From its roots as a Jewish market to the many immigrant communities that shaped it, this place is Toronto’s heartbeat.
• Chinatown 🏮 – now home to many Asian communities, buzzing with markets, food, and energy.
• Graffiti Alley 🎨 – yes, world-famous. Iconic murals, photoshoot moments, and peak Toronto cool.
• Mueseum of Toronto 🖼️ - This is free a mueseum - Mr. Dressup to Degrassi: 42 Years of Legendary Toronto Kids TV
• The Well 🏗️ – shiny, new, and very “Toronto glow-up.”
• Crumbl Cookies 🍪 – because walking burns calories and we deserve happiness.
• Waterfront 🌊 – fresh air, winter drama, and main-character energy.
After the walk, we’ll head for lunch and drinks at a local spot.
Did someone say day drinking??? 👀🍹

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
• This is NOT a historic walking tour — it’s an introduction to neighbourhoods and communities (with commentary when the mood strikes).
• This walk happens rain, snow, cold, drama, or vibes ❄️
• Do not sign up if you’re not prepared to walk in winter.
• Event will only be cancelled if it hits -20°C (because we are brave, not reckless).
