Calm Beltline Trail Walk: Caledonia LRT Station to Davisville Station
**Calm Beltline Trail Walk: Caledonia Station to Davisville Station**
Join us for a relaxed, no-pressure walk along Toronto’s Beltline Trail, from **Caledonia Station to Davisville Station**.
This route follows part of the old **Toronto Belt Line Railway**, a former rail corridor that once looped around midtown Toronto. Today, much of that railway space has been turned into a peaceful linear trail, connecting neighbourhoods through tree-lined paths, quiet residential areas, bridges, and green spaces. The Kay Gardner section of the Beltline is especially meaningful because local advocates helped protect the old rail corridor from private development and turn it into a public trail and park.
We’ll start near **Caledonia Station** and walk east along the York Beltline and Kay Gardner Beltline Trail toward **Davisville Station**. The route is mostly flat and follows a calm, easy-to-navigate path. It’s a nice mix of city and nature: trees, open trail sections, quiet crossings, and little reminders of the railway history along the way.
As always, this is a low-pressure walk. You’re welcome to chat, walk quietly, or move between the two. There are no icebreakers, no networking, and no expectation to socialize in any particular way. Just showing up and being present is enough.
**Date:** Sunday, May 31, 2026
**Time:** 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM
**Meeting point:** Caledonia Station Main Entrance ([The Eglinton Ave West Exit](https://maps.app.goo.gl/NYVTYdDcK7sxHDiC6))
**End point:** Davisville Station
**Route:** Caledonia LRT Station to Davisville Station via the Beltline Trail ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/z41TLM6DjPvMVcTP7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z41TLM6DjPvMVcTP7))
**Distance:** About 7.5 km
**Pace:** Comfortable walking pace, with short pauses as needed
Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start walking at **2:30 PM**.
### What to wear
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for a longer city trail walk. The route is mostly flat, but we’ll still be walking for around an hour and a half, so comfort matters more than style.
We’ll finish near **Davisville Station**, so it will be easy to head home by TTC afterward.
Looking forward to a calm Sunday walk together.
Sunday Shut Up & Write!® in Sheppard-Yonge
We are now at **Yonge Sheppard Centre** in the **food court** near **Dazzle Mi**. We start a bit past 1pm, so if you're late, please find a seat and start writing -- we'd love to hear about your story or your day -- afterwards. :)
**Coworking for writers in your area!**
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

MOONLIGHT MANTRAS by the Lake
**Overview**
A full moon evening of soulful music, mantra & meditation by Lake Ontario, to nourish your mind, body, & spirit.
**Moonlight Mantras**
**by the Lake**
A full moon evening of soulful music, mantras & meditation by Lake Ontario, designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
Step out of the city, without ever leaving it.
Join us for an evening retreat at Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club, where the noise of Toronto fades into the background and the stillness of the lake and full moon takes over. For a few hours, you’ll feel as though you’ve traveled far beyond the city to bathe in the soothing mantras and soulful melodies of our live musicians.
Hosted in the gorgeous clubhouse with sweeping views of the bay, you’ll be guided through a soothing blend of music, mantra chanting, and meditation. Rooted in ancient traditions, mantra works through sound and vibration - subtle frequencies that calm the mind, settle the body, and gently uplift the spirit. Sing along and sway for an embodied experience.
The full moon has long been associated with heightened awareness, emotional clarity, and reflection. It’s a powerful time to pause, reset, and turn inward. This evening is designed to help you tap into that energy effortlessly.
Afterward, you’re invited to linger around, sit on the patio, walk along the docks, and take in the quiet glow of the moon over the water.
Whether you’re new to meditation or already on your journey, this experience offers a rare opportunity: to feel completely transported, while still in the heart of the city.
✨ Expect a serene, calming, and uplifting evening
✨ Soulful live music and guided mantra chanting
✨ Meditation under the full moon by the lake
✨ A peaceful, welcoming community atmosphere
Come as you are - and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and renewed.

🇰🇷 Korean-English Cultural Exchange 🏞️ Urban Hike | 한-영 언어 문화 교환! 도시 등산 🌲
(👇 See below for English description!)
다운타운 바로 옆에 있는 Don River Valley에서 아름다운 자연을 보는 것을 즐 수 있어요. 새 친구도 사귀고, 영어와 한국어로 이야기하고, 연을 보면서 즐거운 시간을 함께 보내요.
영어를 유창하게 말하는 분도, 영어를 배우고 있는 분도 모두 환영합니다. 영어를 연습하고 싶거나, 외국인에게 한국어를 도와주고 싶거나, 여러 나라에서 온 친구들을 사귀고 싶다면 이 모임이 딱이에요!
**벌레 퇴치제와 물을 꼭 챙기세요.**
**날씨가 나쁘면 다음주말에 갈 예정입니다.**
**트레일**: Don River Trail을 따라간 뒤, Taylor Creek Trail으로 이어갈 예정입니다. 목적지는 Victoria Park역입니다. 전체 경로는 약 8km이며 약 2시간 30분 정도 소요됩니다. 물론 도시 중에 있기 때문에 언제든지 트레일을 벗어나 TTC를 타고 귀가하실 수 있습니다. 이 코스는 평탄하고 포장된 쉬운 길입니다.
**참가비**: 3 CAD. 🥖 빵을 만들어 줄게요. 현금 or e-Transfer (ryankw94@gmail.com) 이 그룹을 유지하려면 Meetup에 연간 구독료를 지불해야 합니다. 💸 안타깝게도 친구들에게 몇 달러를 기부하고 저를 도와달라고 부탁해야 계속 진행할 수 있습니다.
**연락**: [인스타(@ryankw94)](https://www.instagram.com/ryankw94/)이나 카카오톡(ID: ryan.kw)으로 연락 주세요!
*
The Don River Valley, just east of Downtown, is a great place to enjoy some nature and get a break from the city life. Join us for a fun afternoon of hiking, speaking in both English and Korean, and making new friends.
Whether you're a fluent Korean speaker or still learning, this event is perfect for anyone interested in Korean language and culture.
**Remember to bring bug spray and water!**
**If the weather is bad, we will postpone this event.**
**Route:** We will follow the Lower Don River Trail, and then we can get on to the Taylor Creek Trail. My plan is to go to Victoria Park Station. **The Route is about 8km and will take around 2 ½ \~3 hours.** Of course, this is an urban hike, you can get off the trail whenever you want and take the TTC home. This will be an easy, flat trail with a paved path.
**Fee**: **3 CAD**. I will also bring some fresh bread 🥖to share. Cash or e-Transfer (ryankw94@gmail.com)
I have to pay an annual subscription fee to Meetup to keep this group up. 💸 Unfortunately I have to ask people to pitch in a couple dollars and help me out so that I can continue hosting.
**Contact**: You can contact me on [Insta (@ryankw94)](https://www.instagram.com/ryankw94/) or on KakaoTalk (ID: ryan.kw )

🌲🥾 CROTHERS WOODS TRAIL HIKE & DAIRY QUEEN STOP 🥾🍦
🌲🥾 **CROTHERS WOODS TRAIL HIKE & DAIRY QUEEN STOP** 🥾🍦
Real Trails, A Solid Climb & An Ice Cream Finish
Toronto doesn’t have many *true* hiking experiences — but this is one of them.
Join us for a more active, nature-focused walk through Crothers Woods, one of the city’s best spots if you’re looking for something that actually feels like a hike.
This isn’t your typical flat city stroll.
There are hills, forest paths, and a proper climb — especially at the end (Pottery Road 👀).
But don’t worry… we’ve got a reward waiting.
This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social hike — a bit more effort, a bit more nature, and a great group to do it with.
📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd)
***
**🚶♂️ What We’ll Do**
We’ll start at Broadview Station and head south along Broadview before making our way down Pottery Road into the Don Valley.
From there, we’ll connect to the Don Valley trails and enter Crothers Woods, where we’ll hike through forested paths and take a short break along the way.
After the hike, we’ll make our way back — finishing with the climb up Pottery Road (the final challenge 💪).
And then… we reward ourselves with a stop at Dairy Queen for some well-earned ice cream. 🍦
We’ll end back near Broadview Station.
***
🌦️ **Weather & Expectations**
This hike happens rain or shine.
Please come prepared — trails may be muddy, and conditions can vary.
This is a slightly more challenging walk than most of our events:
✔️ Uneven trails
✔️ Some hills
✔️ One bigger climb at the end
Good footwear is important.
Also — this is NOT a guided or historical tour. It’s about movement, nature, and being social.

You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat

Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

Why Real Estate Investors Should Become Licensed Agents (And When Not To)
REGISTER HERE: [SIGN UP TODAY](https://link.elitereimm.com/widget/form/mUCJcb9LFDGoPqRg82jP?am_id=debbie4540)
Should a real estate investor get a real estate license? Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into.
In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**.
You’ll learn:
* **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow)
* How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways)
* The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals**
* How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures**
* What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements**
* When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one
* A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model**
You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.

In-Person Meeting: How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals
(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=In-Person-Columbus-Meeting-How-I-Get-Private-Lenders-and-Partners-to-Fund-My-Deals-14-6-2-2026)**.)
Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern
Central Ohio Chapter Meeting
IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS
How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals
If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.
And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck.
Private lenders are more cautious.
Partners are asking better questions.
And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up.
That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now.
You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
* Where they’re finding private lenders today
* How they start conversations that lead to funding
* What makes lenders and partners say YES
* How they structure deals to be fundable
* The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money
* How to build repeat funding relationships
**Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):**
**Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help**
Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals.
**The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)**
Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.
This is where connections turn into action.
This meeting is for serious real estate investors nationwide, and we’re known for our high-content, real-life education and our nationwide community of dealmakers.
Members and non-members at all levels are welcome.
Register below to reserve your seat.
