Leaderless in the Beaches, January 26th

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019

We’ve not explored the East End in a while.

Meet at 10:00am on Saturday, January 26th. (The weather forecast looks cold so wrap up; bring spare batteries if you can and keep them warm too!)

We’ll congregate at Remarkable Bean, 2242 Queen St E (at Beech Ave).

Starting at the R.C.Harris Water Treatment Plant – it’s very close to Neville Loop, at the east end of the Queen streetcar route.

I’m sure we’ll wander around there for a while, and then probably head west along the boardwalk before finding somewhere on Queen Street for lunch. Maybe more walking after lunch if people are interested.

Tommy Thompson Park, July 15th

Tuesday, July 11th, 2017

Thanks to Brad for organising & leading the next scheduled photowalk:

Meet: 10:00 AM Gate at Tommy Thompson Park

Route: We will walk along the lake side and take the side trails to the tip of the park. We will have lunch at the tip. We will return on the Toronto side and take the side trails back to front gate.

Lunch: There is nothing in the park so you will need to pack a lunch and extra water.

Bring your macro lens for close up shooting of bugs and plants. Bring your long lens for wildlife photos.

Post Walk: We will see how many are left and discuss a spot to meet up on Queen St.

Riverdale, May 20th

Saturday, May 13th, 2017

Even though I planned this walk, hopefully we’ll have good weather for it 🙂

Meet: 10:00 am at the Tim Hortons at Gerrard and Blackburn (547 Gerrard St East) – yes, the same place we met to start the Focus on Gerrard walk.

Morning route: Head north beside Bridgepoint then across the Don and over to Riverdale Farm. How long we have at the farm depends on our pace. From there we’ll go south on Sumach to Spruce, then over to Parliament. [map]

Lunch: Stout Irish Pub, 221 Carlton (confirmed)

Afternoon: I’ve sketched a route zigzagging up to the Bishop & Belcher, just across from Bloor-Yonge station, but we can improvise.

Contact: Paul Henman, 647-388-5356
