🍁 The Fall Colours of Brickworks (Thanksgiving Walk) 🍂
Celebrate Thanksgiving with a scenic fall walk through Toronto’s beautiful ravines as we make our way to the Evergreen Brick Works. Along the way, enjoy the crisp autumn air, brilliant fall colours, and a peaceful escape from the city. We’ll spend about 30 minutes exploring the Brick Works, taking in its history and atmosphere, before heading back through the stunning Mount Pleasant Cemetery — one of Toronto’s largest and oldest cemeteries, full of history and breathtaking seasonal beauty.
For those who’d like to keep the day going, we’ll wrap up with a cozy festive lunch at Swiss Chalet. Their seasonal special (around $17.99 plus tax & tip) includes stuffing, cranberry sauce, your choice of side, a roll, and a slice of pie — the perfect Thanksgiving treat! 🦃🥧

### More About the Brick Works 🧱
From 1889 to the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canada’s leading brickyards. In the 1990s, the City of Toronto and TRCA restored the quarry into a thriving natural area, opening it to the public in 1996. Today, it’s a unique blend of history, nature, and wildlife at the heart of Toronto’s ravine system. In autumn, the surrounding trails come alive with vibrant reds, oranges, and golds — making it one of the best spots in the city to enjoy fall colours.
