Barbecue and Hike through Tommy Thompson Park.

Location: Meet at the entrance of Tommy Thompson Park -Leslie Street Spit **It's time to have some fun!** What better way to celebrate the end of Summer with a barbecue by the lake. Join us for burgers and drinks **under the tents** and on the water at Ashbridges Bay for burgers and drinks! ($10. For a burger and drink.) After a 8km hike (with some fun things happening along the way) at Tommy Thompson Park we will head to Ashbridges Bay for burgers- veggie and meat.

HIKE - SOCKS - BEER (Bermuda Triangle)

Life of Fife (6.4 km)

The Bridle Path is famous for being the richest address in Toronto. Most people don't realize that the neighbourhood just to the north is equally affluent. Fife Road and Fifeshire Road are lined with swanky mansions, one of which was featured in a highly successful Canadian comedy. This hike is an opportunity to gawk at luxury homes before we exit into the lush foliage of Windfields Park. The park is also home to the bucolic Canadian Film Centre. Unfortunately, rich neighbourhoods don't have good restaurants. There's only one decent one, a Cantonese restaurant, where we can have dinner. **Highlights** 1. York Mills Arena (depart 6:15 pm) 2. Mansions of Fifeshire Rd 3. St. Andrews Park 4. York Mills and Bayview Ave (depart 6:55 pm) 5. Canadian Film Centre 6. Windfields Park 7. Banbury Community Centre (depart 7:30 pm) 8. Pearl Chinese Cuisine (arrive 7:55 pm) **Neighbourhoods** St Andrews > Windfields **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1LX-fTnFET4MwGjl5zzE6CG1epvLdcTM&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1LX-fTnFET4MwGjl5zzE6CG1epvLdcTM&usp=sharing) **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. See our [home page](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/) for more info.

Sunnybrook bounce (10 km)

**Attendance policy is enforced for this hike**. See below for details. Sunnybrook Park is surrounded by undulating mountain biking trails. It's a bouncy ride, and that applies to those going on foot. These trails have lovely names like Roller Flowster, Asylum Climb, and Trash Panda. Come trek the hidden parts of the park. We'll pass by the major landmarks of Sunnybrook, including historical estates and the sprawling hospital grounds. Since there are no restaurants in Sunnybrook, we will continue to the adjacent neighbourhood of Leaside. It's one of the garden suburbs in Toronto, characterized by winding roads radiating from a central park. Businesses are sprinkled around the edges, including one of Toronto's best fish and chip shops. The hike ends at an industrial brewery and a trampoline park if you want to bounce some more. We don't usually rate difficulty of hikes because every person's capabilities are different. Other hiking groups in Toronto would rate this as an intermediate hike, except for the start which is **advanced** because of a very steep climb. If you're not confident, join us at Sunnybrook Stables or Sushi by K. This hike will be postponed if the trails are muddy from rain. **Highlights** 1. Charmaine Sweets (depart 11am) 2. Eglinton Avenue over Don Valley 3. Trash Panda trail 4. Wilket Creek 5. Sunnybrook Pavilion 6. Sunnybrook Stables (depart 12:10pm) 7. Memorial Arboretum 8. McLean House / The Coach House 9. Vaughan Estate 10. Sunnybrook Hospital 11. Roller Flowster trail 12. Burke Brook Ravine boardwalk (under restoration) 13. Lyndhurst Centre 14. BanCan Kitchen / Sushi by K (depart 1:20pm) 15.

Humber salmon run (5 km)

**Attendance policy is enforced for this hike**. See below for details. It's salmon season! The short falls at Etienne Brulé park is the most reliable place to see salmon jumping against the current. It's also the most convenient too; just a few minutes from a subway station. We'll use the last light of day to spot migrating salmon. At dusk, we'll hike through so-called garden suburbs. Baby (pronounced babby) Point was the site of Teiaiagon, a Seneca village. Today, it's developed into landscaped single-family homes around swirly lanes. There are decent cafes but they're closed at night. So, we won't linger. We'll head to Bloor West Village, filled with restaurants and minor attractions. There's a converted theatre, a library with Haida totem poles, and scattered Ukrainian businesses. This neighbourhood was a magnet for Ukrainian immigrants in the 1950s. Most have moved on to other parts of the GTA but there's a resurgence in recent years with new Ukrainian restaurants sprouting up. There will be very quick stops to check out some bakeries and cafes en route. **Highlights** 1. Old Mill Restaurant (depart 6:15pm) 2. Salmon jump at Etienne Brulé Park 3. Rabago Bakery and Cafe (depart 7:05pm) 4. Momo Ghar 5. Chebureky House 6. The CakeSmith 7. Bao Bao Dim Sum / Meaty Eats 8. Runnymede Theatre 9.
