**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/arrowhead-2026-1)** ***Open for just a few weeks each year, come explore this famous, torch-lit skating trail in Arrowhead Provincial Park*** Step into the magical, famous and otherworldly Fire and Ice nights. Imagine skating through thickly-forested trails illuminated by innumerable tiki torches burning in stunning contrast to the winter chill. This is a must-try fairy-tale experience through the rich forests of Muskoka. Before skating begins, we'll head up to Arrowhead in the day and hike a couple of trails that showcase some of Arrowhead's most spectacular scenery. As the sun sets, we'll change into our skates and take to the ice. Skating in the park is suitable for people of all levels. Ice skates are available for rental (around $15) at the park. After a couple of hours skating, we'll head back home for a late arrival back in Toronto. **Depending on snow levels we may be required to use snowshoes or ice spikes. We have a limited quantity available that you can grab at check-out. Ice spikes are free to borrow and snow shoes can be rented for a small fee.** **Highlights** **Night Skating:** Glide over winding, frozen trails with the night sky triumphantly shining above you. **Torch-Lit Scenery:** Take in the beautiful contrast of burning flames and shimmering ice as your path ahead is lit up by a warm, orange glow. ‍**Frozen Waterfalls:** The ultimate battle between gravity and cold temperatures plays out in dramatic fashion. **Event cost: Starting at $60+HST - optional transport available.** **Register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/arrowhead-2026-1)** **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/)***

❄️⛳️ **Don Valley Golf Course Winter Walk** **Yes, we’re walking a golf course. In winter. Because we can.** Did you know that in the winter you can actually **walk the paths of Toronto-owned golf courses**? No golfers, no carts — just wide open space, fresh air, and a completely different way to experience the city. It feels a little bit sneaky, a little bit special, and very *“I didn’t know you could do that.”* Join us for a **short, easy 90-minute winter walk** through **Don Valley Golf Course**. It’s something different, surprisingly peaceful, and a great excuse to get outside when most people are hiding indoors. The trails may have snow, the air will be crisp, and yes — **it will be cold**… but that’s part of the fun. There is **no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing options**. Dress properly and you’ll be totally fine — maybe even smug about it 😏❄️ Miss this and you’ll later say, *“Wait… you walked a golf course??”* *** 🍗 **LUNCH AFTER** After the walk, join us for **lunch at Swiss Chalet** — always a group favourite with warm food, fair prices, and cozy winter vibes. *(You don’t have to join for lunch, but it’s highly recommended.)* *** ⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTES** • If the **TTC is closed** this weekend, we’ll move the event to another date • This walk happens in **cold and snow** • **Do not sign up** if you’re not ready to walk in winter • Event will only be cancelled if it reaches **-20°C** *** 📍 **MEETUP LOCATION** I’ll be waiting **near the Shell gas station**, wearing my **famous Moose Hat** 🦌 (Easy to spot, even in a snowstorm.) *** 🎒 **WHAT TO BRING** • Water • **Good boots** (very important) • Gloves & hat • Something warm to drink ☕ • A snack *** ⏰ **LEAVING TIME** Any time you like — stay for the full walk or head out when you’re ready. 👀 **NOT SURE YOU CAN MAKE IT?** You can **just show up** or decide on the day. Winter plans don’t need pressure. *** 📱 **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t) ⚠️ **NOTE:** Sometimes things happen and I may need to cancel — please keep an eye out for updates. *** ❄️ Wide paths.

For those who have been asking us for a repeat, it's KARAOKE night again, presented by TSCC and These Boots are made for hiking. Whether you’re a seasoned karaoke enthusiast ready to showcase your vocals or a first-timer eager to give it a try, join us! Sing solo, duet, or with a group. It’s the perfect way to try something new, make friends, and enjoy a high-energy evening filled with fun and music which will also lead us to goof around on the dance floor. Tickets cost $15 each which includes a light snack. Drinks are available at the bar, do not bring alcohol on the premises. Parking is free.

Struggling with motivation and focus as you hammer away on your manuscript at home? Want to join a community of writers as we embrace the joys and pains (mostly pains) of writing together? Bring your laptop, pen & paper, old-school typewriter, or futuristic writing gadget, and join an enthusiastic community of science fiction and fantasy writers as we work on our current projects in the same space. The format will be similar to our online writing sprints: 30-minute blocks of focused, quiet writing time (the sprints), interspersed with breaks where we can chat, ask questions, and share our writing experiences.

Golf courses are not just for golf. In winter, city-owned courses become cross-country skiing and snowshoeing territory. Detonia Park is one of them and is also the closest to a subway station. There's also good food nearby. After romping through the golf course, we'll head west to another potentially snow-covered field. Then, it's on to Little Bangladesh along Danforth Avenue, where you can check out Bengali supermarkets and snacks. The hike ends at a Bangladeshi restaurant. This event depends on snow. If there is heavy snowfall, you can ski or showshoe the golf course portion of the hike. Walking in the snow loops is not recommended. If you must, wear muck boots and traction aids. If there is no snow and ice, we'll just walk. After the golf course, the rest of the route is on foot. **Highlights** 1. Detonia Park Golf Course car park (depart 12pm) 2. Golf turf blanketed in snow (or barren and grey) 3. Crescent Town 4. Shohid Minar 5. Adi Bikrampur Sweets (depart 1:05pm) 6. Bangladeshi supermarkets 7. Shaad Restaurant (arrive 1:30pm) **Neighbourhoods** Oakridge > Crescent Town > Taylor-Massey **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1R8N6ptm1qIdtmkzPiAEmsWPcezgN68w&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1R8N6ptm1qIdtmkzPiAEmsWPcezgN68w&usp=sharing) Free admission to golf course in winter. **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. See our [About section](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/) for more info.
