Walk Toronto<\/a>, a grassroots, volunteer advocacy group dedicated to giving a voice to pedestrians in Toronto in order to make Toronto a better city for walking, began with a big meeting at Metro Hall in 2013 (I was one of the founders and am still a steering committee member).<\/p>\n

We’re marking our tenth anniversary with, among other things, a walk-and-talk on Sunday, October 1, at 10:00 am (10 o’clock on the 10th month). We will meet where it all began, at Metro Hall (east entrance on David Pecaut Square) and walk through the downtown for a couple of hours, touching on key points of pedestrian issues and advocacy (including Union Station, Berczy Park, and Yonge-Dundas Square), and ending at Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall. Founders and members of Walk Toronto’s steering committee, and possibly guests, will share their insights and experiences.<\/p>\n

Spacing has kindly agreed to provide prizes for a lucky few participants!<\/p>\n

Please let us know if you plan to attend<\/a> to learn more about the past, present, and future of pedestrian advocacy in Toronto. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!<\/p>\n

Date: Sunday October 1
\nTime: 10:00 am
\nPlace: Outside the east entrance to Metro Hall, on David Pecaut Square<\/a><\/p>\n
