Our regular schedule for 2017 is the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month; off-schedule walks have an asterisk against the date:
| Date | Organiser | Walk name / location (tba = to be arranged) | URL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jul08 | Geoff | Don River Trail | details |
| Jul15 | Brad | Tommy Thompson Park | details |
| Aug05 | tba | tba | tba |
| Aug19 | tba | tba | tba |
Past walks are listed here (with maps); future walk dates are on our calendar; if you’d like to help organise a walk, find out what’s involved.
We changed last year’s schedule to include Sundays but they weren’t very well attended, so for 2017 we’re going back to the first and third Saturday of each month:
| Month | 1st | 3rd | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 01* | 21 | *We always start the year with the “Hair Of The Dog” walk, and given it’s on a Sunday it will replace the “first Saturday of the month” for January |
| February | 04 | 18 | |
| March | 04 | 18 | |
| April | 01 | 15 | |
| May | 06 | 20 | |
| June | 03 | 17 | |
| July | 01 | 15 | |
| August | 05 | 19 | Our 200th scheduled walk! |
| September | 02 | 16 | |
| October | 07 | 21 | |
| November | 04 | 18 | TOPW’s 8th anniversary |
| December | 02 | 16 |
As always, please let me know if you’d like to plan/lead a scheduled walk, because all help is greatly appreciated.
For 2017, any “off-schedule” walk organised by TOPW regulars are considered “official” walks too, which means everyone can add their shots to the Flickr group. Unfortunately these are usually only shared in the Facebook group and I haven’t found a simple way to share them on the website or Flickr group.
We will still use hashtags for the scheduled walks but rather than trying to find a unique code for each event we’ll just use “TOPW2017rs” for all the regular scheduled walks this year and “TOPW2017os” for the “off-schedule” walks. Please remember to tag your photos before you add them to the TOPW Flickr group – it makes it much easier for our admins to spot & remove photos which don’t belong there.
Seven years! Who would have foreseen that?
It was great to see everyone who made it to the party yesterday. A huge thank you to everyone who has led a photowalk this year: Andrew, Brad, Dom, Geoff, Jeff, Jo, Ken, Lizzie, Olya, and Vicki; to Georgette & Michael for also organising the party, with David on slideshow duty.
And of course thank you to everyone who comes along to the walks! Hope to see you on another one soon!
Our regular schedule is 1st Saturday and then the 3rd Sunday of each month; off-schedule walks have an asterisk against the date:
| Date | Organiser | Location (tba = to be arranged) | URL |

| Jan01* (Sun) | tba | Hair of the Dog | tba |

The poll to decide the pattern for 2016’s schedule was won (only by a few votes) by “One Saturday and one Sunday a month (different weekends)”, so here’s the calendar:
January: 01*, 17
February: 06, 21
March: 05, 20
April: 02, 17
May: 07, 22
June: 04, 19
July: 02, 17
August: 06, 21
September: 03, 18
October: 01, 16
November: 05, 20
December: 03, 18
*We always start the year with the Hair Of The Dog walk, and given it’s a Friday that will replace the “first Saturday of the month” regular schedule.
If you’re technically inclined, you can import the TOPW schedule into your calendar – info is @ http://torontophotowalks.ca/calendar/
As always (a) please let me know if you’d like to plan/lead a scheduled walk, because all help is greatly appreciated, and (b) “off-schedule” walks can be added if people want to organise them. (I’m going to try to move everything to the TOPW website to reduce the duplication but I’ve not had time to investigate this yet.)
The definition of “official walks” is changing for 2016: as long as the walk is published on both the TOPW Facebook group and Flickr group then we can consider it “official” (and therefore share those shots in both places).
Disclaimer! If we discover there isn’t enough interest in Sunday walks, or the new “official” walk definition isn’t working, then we will change things.
