❄️🌲 Winter Walk at the Brick Works 🌲❄️

❄️🌲 Winter Walk at the Brick Works 🌲❄️

Fresh air, good company, and a perfect excuse to get out of the house!
Winter doesn’t mean staying indoors — it means layering up, grabbing a warm drink, and heading out for one of Toronto’s most beautiful seasonal walks. Join us for a winter adventure to the Evergreen Brick Works, where nature, history, and community come together. ✨
We’ll start with a scenic walk from St. Clair Subway Station down through the ravine to the Brick Works — a peaceful, snow-dusted escape that feels a world away from the city, even though we’re right in it. ❄️🌿
Once we arrive, you’ll have time to enjoy the Brick Works Market — grab something warm to eat, browse fresh produce, or treat yourself to a little local shopping. Afterward, we’ll find a cozy spot to sit, chat, eat lunch, and actually get to know each other. ☕🥪🤍
Then we’ll walk back together toward St. Clair — but if you’re feeling tired, cold, or just ready to head home, buses are available from the Brick Works to connect you to nearby subway stations. Easy and flexible!

### 🌲 More About the Brick Works 🌲

Toronto has some incredible hidden hiking trails, and this one is truly special. From 1889 to the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canada’s most important brickyards. In the 1990s, the City of Toronto and the TRCA raised nearly $6 million to restore the site, transforming it into a stunning park and natural space that opened in 1996.
Today, it’s an awe-inspiring urban oasis — especially in winter. Snow-covered paths, quiet ravines, wildlife sightings, and historic industrial ruins create a magical atmosphere you never quite know what you’ll encounter. ❄️🦊🌲

🚶‍♂️ Can I Leave Early?
Absolutely — leave anytime you like. The full experience takes about 3 hours, including a relaxed break at the Brick Works.

💛 REMEMBER:
You can just show up — or decide on the day if you’re not 100% sure.
⚠️ NOTE:
Sometimes things happen and plans may change — please keep an eye out for updates.
