Seasonal Lights Night Walk 2017, December 16th

Saturday, December 9th, 2017

Firstly, apologies for not posting about the December 2nd walk – it was a last minute decision to do a leaderless walk rather than cancel it.

As is the tradition now, Vicki is organising our Seasonal Lights night walk:

Meet 5PM – Sheraton Hotel Lobby (Queen St across from City Hall). We’ll be near the glass enclosed waterfall behind the escalators.

NOTE: meet time changed to 5pm

It’s that time of year again. We will, as per usual, be winding our way to view downtown Toronto’s out-door and in-door delightful seasonal light displays. There will be areas of repeat for some, but will be new to more current members. All in all, it will be a time of get together. Let’s hope for snow, as it makes it all so much prettier. Somewhat of a map, meeting place and end pub location to come.

Grange Park Picnic, August 5th

Friday, August 4th, 2017

Vicki has organised an evening event:

Meet at 6:30pm – Grange Park (just behind the AGO)

Photography/Music/Play

Things to bring: blanket, folding chair, park games (frisbee or such), your own picnic dinner, musical instruments, cameras.

Musical jams and taking photos in and around the fabulous newly opened park, sit and eat. Later, when all the little kiddies go home, the larger, very interesting play equipment will be open for teens and adults to play on and get pics. Grange has put in amazing lighting, so it is great for night shots.

Could head to a pub later.
