Swansea, the other side of High Park (5.5 km)
Swansea was a village with its own town hall, fire station, and even historical society. This hike runs through whatever is left standing from that era, and also a quick jaunt into the least-visited part of High Park. The park's northeastern edge doesn't have much attractions and is relatively inaccessible, so that's where we'll go to avoid the crowds.
The crowds will probably be gawking at cherry blossoms on the east bank of Grenadier Pond. If you're into that, visit before or after the hike.
For food, there's a handful of notable places near the start and end. There's no distinct theme around High Park. In contrast, Bloor West Village has Ukrainian businesses—bakeries but no restaurants, so we'll settle down at a new Tibetan momo restaurant at the end of the hike.
**Highlights**
1. Bennett Park (depart 6:30pm)
2. Usagi Sushi / Ohana
3. High Park Playground
4. David H Williams Clubhouse (depart 7:10pm)
5. Upscale houses along Ellis Avenue
6. Former Swansea Town Hall / Toronto Fire Station 425
7. Runnymede United Church
8. Momo Ghar (arrive 8pm)

**How it works**
Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints.
We'll browse some food places but won't linger long. See the route in advance, organize takeout, then pickup along the way.
See our [About section](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/) for more info.
Afternoon walk
Let's meet outside the Davisville subway station (at the corner of Yonge Street and Chaplin Crescent) and go for a walk! (We can decide where to go when we meet.)
Coming Out, Being Out - Peer Discussion (Weekly)
**Description**
Coming Out Being Out (COBO) is a peer discussion group that has served the LGBT community for over 15 years in downtown Toronto. We meet to share stories and opinions, challenges and triumphs at all stages of coming out and being out.
COBO participants are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit and questioning people. We welcome all who identify under the banner of queer sexual orientation and gender identity.
**What We Do**
\|\-\| COBO participants are often seeking to:
* Understand what experiences others have in coming out to family, friends and their respective communities.
* Develop comfort in discussing their identity with others.
* Meet others having the same experiences when it comes to living openly.
* Receive the encouragement of peers.
\|\-\| Regular topics of discussion include:
* How people choose to come out (at work, with family, with friends).
* Where to find others like us in the community.
* Challenges and triumphs in navigating family and partner relationships.
**Where & When**
* Every Wednesday from 6-8pm
* Community meeting space at Casey House - 119 Isabella St., Toronto
**How to Access the Meeting**
Registration on Meetup is not required to attend. Attendance is on a drop-in basis. The front door to our meeting space at Casey House is controlled by the main floor receptionist. To access the space when you arrive:
* Press the button to the left of the main entrance door.
* Tell the receptionist that you are there for the COBO meeting.
* You will be buzzed in and someone from our group will come to show you to the meeting.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON WEDNESDAY!
*COBO is a community group led by non-professional peer facilitators and is not a Casey House program.*
Creative Code Toronto meetup at InterAccess
Join us for a Toronto meetup of creative coders! This will be a venue to get to know each other and see what's going on in the community. We'll have a space downtown and some food available.
We're partnering with [InterAccess](https://interaccess.org), a gallery, educational facility, production studio, festival, and registered charity dedicated to new media and emerging practices in art and technology!
* If you've got a project you've worked on in the past that you're proud of, we'd love to see it and for you to walk us through what went into it.
* If you're currently working on something or investigating some new ideas and feel like sharing, this would be a great time discuss your process so far!
* If you haven't done anything yet but are interested in creative coding, we'd love to see what works have inspired you.
Sign up here if you're interested in speaking! [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MsbtdvTGMNT75lqq4lnxydY4TczStAOZE1Ap8mQJKeM](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MsbtdvTGMNT75lqq4lnxydY4TczStAOZE1Ap8mQJKeM)
**What is creative code?** *Creative coding* refers to anything with an artistic component that uses code as a medium. We welcome artists who use code (for visuals, audio, poetry, or whatever else), designers, animators, toolmakers, researchers, or just enjoyers and people looking to learn more!
**Location:** InterAccess, at 32 Lisgar St.
**Join our discord** if you want to talk to everyone before/after the event, or have any suggestions for things you'd like to see or do! [https://discord.gg/ux9txXPsdJ](https://discord.gg/ux9txXPsdJ)

You’ll also get to meet each other and take part in a short, meaningful photo quest. Along the way, **we’ll use discussion prompts, questions, and vocabulary guides for different levels** \- from beginner to more advanced\.
This walk is suitable both for those who already speak English and want more practice, and for beginners - you’ll have helpful conversation guides related to the theme.
All participants will get access to a group chat with curated materials in English about The Beatles and the locations we’ll visit.
🎤 **Host:** Vika - neurolinguistic coach and a big fan of real, live communication
🚶 **Format:** walking tour, 2 hours, in English
**Important details about exhibition entry:**

The "Low-Down & High-Up" Boyne Valley Trek
## Details
Get ready, team. This Saturday, we’re taking you low before we get you high. We’re diving deep into the Boyne Valley watershed, weaving through the forest, and eventually conquering the **512-meter lookout** for a 360-degree vista that’ll make your Instagram followers weep with envy.
You don’t want to miss this—unless you have a personal vendetta against fresh air and spectacular views.
**📍 The Game Plan**
* **The Rendezvous:** Meet at the **Subway** sandwich store at Hwy 10 & Hwy 89.
* **The Time:** **9:45 AM sharp.** (That’s "9:45" in human time, not "9:45ish" in hiker time).
* **The Logistics:** With gas prices being what they are, please carpool—or ensure your Tesla is topped up with enough electrons to get us there and back.
* **Pro Tip:** This is your golden opportunity for a "civilized" bathroom break and a caffeine infusion before we vanish into the woods.
* **Distance options:** 9 km (The Appetizer) or 13 km (The Main Course). We’re ranking this a Level 2.5 effort and 5.0 views, enough to justify that post-hike snack."
**🚗 Parking Tetris**
Depending on our numbers, we’ll drive two minutes north to the **Lilliputian parking lot**. If we show up looking like a motorcade, we’ll leave a few sacrificial cars at the Subway lot to keep things manageable.
**🗺️ Don't Get Lost (It's Embarrassing)**
For the directionally challenged, use these for pinpoint accuracy:

**🎒 The "Must-Haves"**
Please bring **water and snacks**. You’re all big girls and boys now; I shouldn't have to remind you that dehydration isn't a personality trait.
**One last thing:** People ask if we’re climbing mountains or just "hill-areas." Honestly? It’s going to be **hill-arious** until we hit the incline—then it’s just business.
See you on the trail.

Taylor Creek Peaceful Slow Walk & Chill
# Taylor Creek Slow Walk & Reset
Join us for a relaxed, no-pressure walk through Taylor Creek.
We’ll meet near **Cullen Bryant Park** and walk at an easy pace toward **Victoria Park**. (**Route**: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/vd4vmBeLiyk18k9i7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vd4vmBeLiyk18k9i7))
The route follows the creek through a peaceful ravine, with stretches of trees, open green space, **gentle water sounds**, and the feeling of **being tucked away from the city for a while**.
It’s the kind of walk where you can slow down, notice the light through the trees, listen to the creek, and let the conversation happen naturally.
***
## What to expect
The walk is about **4 km** and will take around **1 - 1.5 hours.**
We’ll keep the pace comfortable and take a short pause along the way to enjoy the surroundings.
You’re welcome to chat, walk quietly, or move between the two. There are no pressure to socialize in any particular way.
Just showing up and being present is enough. **Being there is enough.**
***
## A few notes
1. Comfortable shoes are still a good idea, and you may want to bring water. We’ll keep the pace easy and relaxed.
2. The route is mostly paved, with a calm trail feel as it follows the creek through the ravine.
3. This walk is for anyone who wants to be around people in a simple, low-key setting. You don’t need to be a fast walker, a big talker, or “good at socializing.”
