As Toronto’s October “Festival of Walking<\/a>” draws to a close, here are a couple of interesting walking-themed events for the week.<\/p>\n

The week ends, of course, with what is perhaps the biggest walking festival of the year – Hallowe’en. Everyone should walk the streets that night to banish their fear of the darkening city.<\/p>\n

Closing Gould Street – Tuesday Oct. 28.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryerson students have been campaigning to get Gould Street, at the heart of their campus, closed to traffic. For the moment, they are at least closing it for one day (well, from 10:00 to 4:00). Here’s what they say:<\/p>\n

Most students at Ryerson agree that closing Gould Street to regular traffic would make life a lot easier — not only would making it to class be faster and safer, but it would provide more student space for events and entertainment on campus. Closing Gould Street would help Ryerson University become more environmentally friendly, because it would promote the use of public transit to and from campus and demonstrate what a car-free community would look like.On October 28, we are going to demonstrate support in a major way. We going to close Gould Street!!<\/p>\n

Featuring:<\/p>\n

Live Music
\nSalsa performance & lessons
\nBeatbox performance & workshop
\nStreet Hockey
\nHenna Tattoos
\nRyerson’s own video booth “speakers corner”
\nInteractive T-Shirt making
\nBanner Painting
\nMedia Art Displays
\nHot chocolate
\nAnd much, much more<\/p>\n

All these actions and performances will be interactive and turn Gould Street into a student-friendly environment not a space for cars to pollute!<\/p>\n
