Come and join me for a repeat of one of three ghost hikes offered in 2022. The ghosts are not former people but places and in this case a historical creek, long ago buried. Your fun assignment will be to find evidence of the Creek that was and to count the number of life size canoes placed along the route. This time around we will be walking in the reverse West To East, and North to South direction, ending at Fort York, which has free admission during March Break. You will have the opportunity to explore the exhibits at your leisure at the end of the hike.Public washrooms at the Joseph J Piccininni Community Centre to start (0 km), at Christie Pits Park (4 km), Trinity Bellwoods Park (7.5), Norway Park (10 km) and at The Fort York Visitor’s Centre (12 km).
Dropouts with TTC access anywhere along the route.
