Description

• Join us for a leisurely walk on The Toronto Islands from Ward Island to the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, returning via the paths and trails along the northern side with great views of the city at night. Route: https://onthegomap.com/s/rdt1vns0

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. This year we have moved up the start time by one hour so it's less of a rush at the end.

After the walk we'll head to the Firkon On Harbour for refreshments and fellowship.

We will take the Ward Island Ferry scheduled for 2:30 pm, please arrive at the Jack Layton Terminal by 2:15 to check in. Please pre register once registration opens.

Fares: Adult Return, $9.11 ; Senior Return (65+), $5.86 ; Youth Return (under 19 with ID), $5.86 ; Junior Return (under 14), $4.29. You can purchase your ticket online at: https://secure.toronto.ca/FerryTicketOnline/tickets2/index.jsp

Our aim will be to catch the 6:30 pm return ferry from Ward Island so we can be at the Harbour On Harbour by about 7:00 PM. Please use Contact Hike Leader or email Tom  if you wish to join us at the restaurant so we can have an accurate count. Reservation for maximum of 30 has been confirmed for dinner and seperate bills will be provided.
