Thanks to Andrew Smith for organising this walk:
This walk is just under 5km and is NOT an Accessible Route – there are 2 major sets of stairs, one up, one down.
The walk is almost a full circle, we finish 1 block away from our start point.

10:00 am Meet at the St Clair West Subway Station entrance on the south side of St. Clair.
For those of you who just have to have coffee before starting, there is a Starbucks at the corner of Bathurst & St. Clair
If coming by TTC, you get to this exit via the concourse above track level.
If you are planning on arriving on a bicycle – there is a bike lock station by the subway entrance we are leaving from.
