Peaceful beauty
Sat. Option 1: One group is heading to Toronto Island for a walk followed by brunch at the Rectory. It is a lovely setting - a Toronto gem! We catch the 9:30 ferry to Ward's Island &arrive around 9:45. From there
we can go for about 6-8k from Ward's Island to the Lighthouse (distance of your
choosing) and back to the Rectory. Those training for New Albany
are supposed to do 12k this weekend - if you add the walk to and from the
carpark you'll get the additional mileage in!
The ferry fare is $7.25 adults;$4.75 seniors. To avoid disappointment, meet at the Ferry terminal between 9 and 9:15 am. Parking? May be an issue so car-pool if possible. Here's a link to the parking lots in the downtown core:

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

I won't be out on Saturday, I am jealous of your walk on the Island though...maybe next time. Congratulations Norma...how exciting; I will be thinking of you, hopefully someone will take pictures.
I will continue to mia till the fall, leaving for the UK for 2 months.
How exciting Norma, I agree, hope there will be pictures.
The GO train is a great option for getting downtown, 9 minutes from Danforth to Union and a short WALK to the ferry terminal, a win/win for all.
Have fun this weekend and this summer.

Oops, forgot to say congratulations to the "newest" grandma!
Sorry I won't be able to join you all at the Island tomorrow after all. Family arriving about 11 and as they are going to help move furniture and boxes, I think I should be home. Have a great walk and will see most of you in 3 weeks. Calgary and Vancouver here I come.
Sorry I won't be able to join any of the walks tomorrow morning. I have a carpet man coming to my house to advise me, at 8.30 am.
Enjoy the walks, everyone and have a super weekend. Congrats on carrying the torch, Norma. Looks like I've been accepted to volunteer in the athletes village - if I pass the RCMP checking.........
I won't be out tomorrow. Congratulations to Norma for carrying the torch. Congratulations also to the "first time" grandmother! I hope I have it right when I think that it is Susan. And to Dawn...you'll pass. What a wonderful group of extraordinary people!

Congratulations to Norma and to first time grandma Susan.

We might be a little late -- waiting for Jan. Don't wait too long if you don't see us. I'd foolishly assumed Norma was "torching" on Lake Shore East. So sorry we'll miss her walk of flame! Hope David takes lots of pictures.
Congrats to Grandma Susan, and to Norma; hope to see photos of both! Will try and get out Wed night; but don't wait for me if I'm not there by 7. A good week to all!
Hi All
Thought I would be out with the "kids" tonight but alas my left knee is acting up so will not be walking tonight (yes I'm crying)
Sylvia

Helen and Bob and I will be out
