**This adventure is open to both Wilderness Union members and the public!** **Join us for an exclusive evening at MEC as we reveal the most ambitious expeditions in our history.** We are gathering at the Queen Street flagship to pull back the curtain on our upcoming Epics. These journeys represent the very best of the backcountry, featuring some of the most extraordinary scenery that the province has to offer but is only reached through extraordinary effort. From three-day treks to six-day canoe circuits through *ancient waterways*, these are the trips we have been dreaming about all winter. The itineraries we are launching include routes we have never run before, many of which would be nearly impossible to organize alone. This is your chance to get the first look at the dates and details before they go live about a week later. If you are curious about pushing your limits in the wild or just want to meet the people you will be sharing a campfire with, then this social is the perfect place to start. Whether you're a seasoned tripper or looking to transition from day hikes to multi-day adventures, you will find plenty of inspiration here. **Trip Registration Dates** Trips will open a few days after the event once you've had a chance to book time off work. We'll be sharing the open date shortly after. **Highlights** **Maps by Jeff** Browse the maps, nerd out over routes and meet the man who makes them happen **Discounted Shopping** This is your chance to buy gear with a WU discount at this exclusive after hours shopping event **Food Sampling** Check out our newest partner, Wanderlust Kitchen **Itinerary** **19:30** Arrival & Mingling - Destination Stations are open for exploration. **19:45** The Epics Revealed - A presentation of the 2026 season and a new partner announcement. **20:15** Food & After-Hours Shop - Sample partner snacks and browse the flagship with expert staff. Giveaways drawn live. **21:00** The Pub Social - We head to a nearby pub to keep the stories going and start building your summer crews. **Event cost: Free. Register on Meetup!** **About Wilderness Union** Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people. Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad. Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming! ***Learn more at our website [www.wildernessunion.com](https://www.wildernessunion.com/)***

✨🌙 **EXPLORE LUMIÈRE: THE ART OF LIGHT** 🌙✨ An Outdoor Night Walk of Light, Art & Waterfront Vibes Let’s go chase some light. Join us for **Lumière: The Art of Light** (formerly the Winter Light Exhibition) in its beautiful new home at **Trillium Park**. This free outdoor exhibition transforms the park into an illuminated art experience, featuring works by Ontario artists who use light, innovation, and creativity to reimagine public space. This year’s curatorial theme is *“Renewal”* — celebrating the shift from winter into spring, longer days, and that subtle feeling that something new is beginning. There’s something magical about walking by the water at night, surrounded by glowing installations and good company. It’s reflective. It’s playful. It’s very Toronto. 👉 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t) \*\*\* 🌉 The Plan We’ll meet at the iconic **Princes' Gates**, then walk together over to Trillium Park. We’ll spend about an hour exploring the installations at a relaxed pace — taking photos, chatting, and soaking it in. Afterward, we’ll continue the evening with food and drinks by the waterfront. Most likely we’ll head to **Shoeless Joe's Sports Grill** along Queens Quay. We’ll hop on the TTC streetcar for a few stops to get there. Art first. Social second. Best of both worlds. \*\*\* 🧥 What to Bring This is an outdoor nighttime event — please dress properly. * Warm coat * Hat & gloves * Warm boots or sturdy shoes * Something warm to drink Comfort = enjoyment. \*\*\* 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 Meetup Location: In front of the Princes’ Gates 🫎 I’ll be wearing my Moose Hat ⏰ Meetup Time: 7:45 PM ❗ I will only wait 10 minutes Please arrive on time so we can walk over together. \*\*\* 💰 Cost Explore Lumière: FREE 🎉 🎟️ **Meetup Fee:** $5 cash in person **or** e-transfer to 📧 \*\*[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com**](http://mathewmaclean@hotmail.com%2A%2A/) This fee helps support the group and allows us to keep hosting events like this. Thank you for supporting community! 💖 \*\*\* 🌈 Who Is This For? This group is open to anyone who wants to be social and make friends — whether single or not. We also host: 🎬 Movies 🚶 Walks & hikes 🎭 Arts & culture outings 🍽️ Restaurant gatherings You’re always welcome. And remember — you can just show up on the day if you’re unsure about your schedule. \*\*\* ⏳ Leaving Time You’re free to head out at any time — after the lights, after dinner, whenever works for you. \*\*\* ⚠️ A Gentle Reminder Sometimes circumstances change and events may need to be canceled — please keep an eye on updates. \*\*\* 👤 Organizer: Mathew Questions? Post on the event wall or email 📧 [torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com) Come for the glow. Stay for the waterfront energy. Leave feeling like you stepped into a little pocket of light in the middle of the city. Winter fades. Spring hints. And Toronto lights up. ✨
