🌈 Rainbow Tunnel Walk - Toronto’s Historical Landmark
RBC Royal Bank, 1090 Don Mills Rd., North York, ON, CA# 🌈 Rainbow Tunnel Walk
### A Hidden Piece of Toronto History, Friendship & the Moccasin Trail
You may have driven along the Don Valley Parkway hundreds of times without realizing there was a story waiting just above you.
The Rainbow Tunnel is one of those unusual pieces of Toronto that feels almost like a secret. Painted in 1971 by teenager B.C. Johnson after the death of his friend Sigred in a car accident, the colourful tunnel became a lasting tribute to friendship and loss.More than 50 years later, the artwork is still part of the landscape.
Join us for an easy social walk through the Moccasin Trail and surrounding ravine paths, with the Rainbow Tunnel as our destination.We'll take our time, stop for photos, enjoy the trails, and learn a little about the story behind one of Toronto's more unusual landmarks.
This isn't a difficult hike or a formal historical tour. It's simply a chance to get outside, discover something you may have driven past hundreds of times, and spend a few hours with good people.📱 Don't forget to join our WhatsApp Group – CLICK HERE

🎬Movie: Onslaught - Food & Drinks after the movie 🍿!
Location not specified yet🎬 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: When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper (starring Adria Arjona) must unleash hell to protect her young daughter.
