About this event
Though the leaves and salmon may be gone for the season, the East Don Trail is still a place of wonder and exploration in the city.
We will be walking through an area that resonates with both Indigenous as well as settler history along with the beautiful natural features of the East Don
Mills, dams, railroads, highways, ecological restoration and art will all be part of our narrative.
The city and TRCA have connected this part of the trail with bridges and paving and installed much anticipated wayfinding.
This a linear (one way) walk as we will begin at the S/E corner of Don Mills Road and Greenbelt Drive and end at Eglinton and Sloan Ave (Bermondsey). There are terrific transit connections at both ends.
This event is a great opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy the crisp autumn air, and take in the stunning views along the river. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing outdoor activity, this walk is perfect for all ages and most fitness levels.
Hope to see you there!
