Winter Walk at Ward’s

Posted on by Paul Henman

For our next photowalk we’re heading over to the Toronto Islands. In winter the ferries only go to Ward’s Island and the City’s page notes the limited amenities during the off-season:

  1. All park facilities at Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point are closed except for the public washrooms:
    • near the Ward’s beach
    • in Centre Island
    • at Hanlan’s Point Ferry Dock
  2. There are limited food options. Water is available at the public washrooms.
  3. It’s definitely cooler on the Islands and there is no heated shelter. Dress appropriately. Gloves, a hat and multiple layers are recommended. There is limited shelter available during the winter.

As with all our winter walks, remember to dress for the weather and keep your spare batteries warm!

Date: February 3rd, 2024
Meet at 9:30AM at Aroma Espresso Bar, 88 Queens Quay W, Toronto, ON M5J 0B8

Leave at 10:00AM to catch the 10:30AM ferry to Ward’s Island (We need to be prompt – the next ferry is at 11:30)
Note: you can buy ferry tickets online or in person

We will have 3 hours to wander around the Islands and return to catch the 1:45 PM ferry back.
We are having a late lunch, so you might want to bring a snack and drinks.

Finish the walk at Firkin on Harbour, 21 Harbour St, Toronto, ON M5E 1R4

  1. If you’re on the TOPW mailing list, you’re probably wondering about today’s email that just says there’s a new password-protected post. You can ignore it – that post was in draft and shouldn’t have been sent out.
