### 🌿 Hogg's Hollow Summer Evening Walk & Dinner 🌅 Join us for a beautiful **summer evening walk** through **Hogg's Hollow**, one of Toronto's most charming and historic neighbourhoods tucked away in the heart of North York. With its winding roads, forested trails, picturesque bridges, and peaceful ravines, it's hard to believe you're still in the city. We'll stroll through the valley where the **West Don River** winds its way past historic homes, quiet streets, and lush green spaces. Along the way, we'll explore the area's fascinating history—from **James Hogg**, the Scottish settler who established a mill here in the 1820s, to the tragic **Hogg's Hollow Disaster** of 1960, when five workers lost their lives during the construction of a water tunnel, an event that forever changed workplace safety laws in Ontario. As the evening sun filters through the trees, it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy great conversation, meet new people, and discover one of Toronto's hidden gems. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** 📍 **Meetup Location:** I'll be waiting near the **Shell gas station** (easy to spot!) wearing my famous **Moose Hat** 🦌 🏁 **Ending Spot:** Right back where we started. 🕡 **Meetup Time:** **6:30 PM** *(I'll wait just 5 minutes.)* 🍗 **Dinner After** After the walk, we'll head to **Swiss Chalet** for a relaxed dinner. Whether you're joining for the famous rotisserie chicken, a salad, or just great conversation, it's the perfect way to end a summer evening. 💵 **Meetup Fee:** **$5** (cash 💵 or e-transfer 📲 to **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)**) 🥾 **What to Bring:** * Water 💧 * Comfortable walking shoes * Bug spray (optional) * A camera—you never know what you'll spot! 📸 ☀️ **Weather** This event takes place rain or shine, except in cases of severe weather. As we always say: **There's no such thing as bad weather—only unsuitable clothing.** *** **REMEMBER:** Feel free to just show up! If you're unsure of your plans, you're always welcome to decide on the day. 👤 **Organized by Mathew** For questions, post on the event wall or email: **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)**
