Please bring a headlamp or flashlight. Icers are strongly recommended but keep an eye on the weather forecast. The lake side of the island is generally breezy so dress in layers. Bring a litre of water and possibly snacks.
After the walk we'll head to a pub near the ferry terminal for refreshments and seasonal cheer.
We will take the Ward Island Ferry scheduled for 4 pm, please arrive at the Jack Layton Terminal by 3:45.
Fares: Adult Return, $8.70 ; Senior Return (65+), $5.60 ; Youth Return (under 19 with ID), $5.60 ; Junior Return (under 14), $4.10. You can purchase your ticket online at: https://secure.toronto.ca/FerryTicketOnline/tickets2/index.jsp
Our aim will be to catch the 6:45 return ferry from Ward Island so we can be at the Fox on Bay Pub by about 7:15. Please email Tom at tjswales@gmail.com if you want to join us at the pub so we can provide them with an accurate count.
