Toronto Movies & Social Group - Celebrating 14 Years!

North Humber River Long Walk - 16KM (You might see a deer!)

Sat, Sep 5 · 10:00 AM EDT

Kipling Station, Toronto, ON, CA

### 🌿 North Humber River Walk – 6th Annual! 🌿

We’re back for our sixth year in a row with this incredible walk — and it has become a true fan favourite!
The North Humber River trail is one of Toronto’s most peaceful and nature-filled walks. It’s a longer walk, but that’s part of what makes it so rewarding.

You’ll get out of the city, follow the river, explore beautiful natural areas, and see just how far you can go when you give yourself the chance.

This walk is about challenging yourself just a little — you'd be surprised how far you can go!
If you don't want to complete the entire walk, that's totally okay. You can leave along the way, and I can help you find the nearest way back toward public transit.
We'll finish with a quick stop at Tim Hortons before heading back toward Kipling Station.

🎬$5 Movie: By Any Means- Food & Drinks after the movie 🍿!

Sat, Sep 5 · 7:15 PM EDT

Cineplex Odeon - Yonge and Dundas, 10 Dundas Street East, 4th Floor, Toronto, ON, CA

🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not)

Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you.

We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc.

The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer!

🎞️ Movie Title + Trailer: [Click here to watch trailer!]

📖 📖 Plot Summary: Inspired by a true story, a young Black FBI agent (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is sent into 1960s Mississippi to investigate a wave of brutal killings targeting civil rights leaders.
