Island Time again....
There seems to be two options this Saturday. Some are heading to Toronto Island. Here is the info:
On Saturday June 27
we are planning a walk on Toronto Island followed by brunch at the Rectory
Cafe. The Rectory opens at 11 am so if we catch the 9:30 ferry to Ward's
Island we will arrive around 9:45. We can go for about 6-8k from
Ward's Island to the Lighthouse (distance of your choosing) and back to the
Rectory. Training for New Albany? To do 10k this weekend walk to and from the carpark you'll get the additional mileage
in!
Ferry $7.25 for adults and $4.75 for Seniors. To avoid disappointment we should plan to be at the Ferry terminal between 9 and 9:15 am. Parking may be a bit of an issue so I suggest car-pooling to reduce costs. Here's a link to the parking lots in the downtown core:

One of the most reasonable (but it's a bit of a hike) is the 5-storey Green P Lot by Hotel Novotel - if you park near the Yonge Street entrance it's about 1k to the ferry. The daily max rate is $10
Send an email to me at jzemaitis@gmail.com to let me know if you are interested so I can book a time with the Rectory.

Likely some will meet at Tim's at 8:00 am and walk from there. Please sign in to let others know your plans....especially with two different locations. New Albany walkers need to do 10 km.
Monday night at Loblaws at 7:00 for 6 km. Wednesday is July 1, so I suggest that we meet at Tim's 2 at 9:00 am for 6 km. Again, please sign in - really helps when time/locations are changing.
Announcements: from Helen: Some have been
talking about doing the above race on October 25th, and in fact Bob, Libby,
Lynne and Helen have already signed up for it. A separate email was sent with information about this race and a cottage rental that may appeal to some.Niagara
International Half Marathon should sign up before the next price increase July
1.
Have you seen this man?

Rainer and Margy will be at Tims 8 a.m. sat
I am planning on going to the Island provided it is not raining. I have space for 2 more in the car if you need a lift.
I'm on baby watch and dog duty so I need to stay close to home. Can't go to Island this time as a result - hate to miss it. I may be at Tim's, or not!

I hope to be joining the Island group for walk and brunch. May need to take my umbrella....
I`m not able to join you on the Island due to a time commitment.
See you next time,
Sheila
Hi everyone. The weather forecast for tomorrow morning is "Cloudy with showers". I have made an executive decision to postpone the island visit until next Saturday when hopefully the weather will co-operate.
Sorry for the confusion - hope everyone sees the message in time!!!
I'm hsppy to reschedule to next week and until then we can all practice our sun dances in preparation for next Saturday.
See you at Tim's tomorrow at 8 then (unless it's raining)

I am not entirely sure if I will be at Tim's or not. Turning off alarm clock. Hope the join the Monday/Wednesday morning walkers next week. Stay dry everyone.
I will see you at Tim's providing it is not raining. I will not be out next Saturday, sorry to be missing the Island walk next week.
I thought I might make it to Tim's tomorrow - but I'm with Trish. I'm turning off the alarm clock...but will join the group next week for the island walk! See you soon.

If so, I'll be there, but what time?

I had planned to go but I'm going to wimp out and sleep in and go for a walk with Ray later.
Happy Canada Day everyone - don't forget to wear your red!!
I am going to take advantage of sleeping in on Canada Day.
See you on Saturday.

I am up so if I don't get distracted I will see you all at Tim's 2.
