Earthenwares, represented by ceramics from the Ancestral Abiayala, Italian Renaissance maiolica, and English delftware; and Porcelain, with a focus on European porcelain of the 18th century, including specialized collections of Commedia dell’Arte figures and scent bottles.

End of Summer Bash BBQ 2026!

🌰 Hogg’s Hollow Fall Walk & Lunch! 🍂!

### 🌰 Hogg’s Hollow Fall Walk & Lunch! 🍂 Join us for a beautiful fall walk through Hogg’s Hollow, one of Toronto’s charming historic neighbourhoods tucked away in North York. With its winding roads, forested trails, stone bridges, and scenic ravines, this area feels like a hidden village in the middle of the city — especially when the leaves turn golden and the air starts to feel like autumn. We’ll explore the valley around the Don River West Branch, taking in the neighbourhood’s natural beauty and historic character. Along the way, we’ll touch on the story of James Hogg, the Scottish settler associated with the area’s early mill, and the tragic **Hogg’s Hollow Disaster of 1960**, when five workers lost their lives during tunnel construction. After our walk, we’ll head to **Swiss Chalet** for lunch, because nothing says fall like comfort food and good company! 🍗 ### 📍 Meetup Location — Please Read Carefully! **We’re meeting directly in front of the Shell gas station store entrance.** Please stand **right in front of the entrance to the store**, where people walk in and out. Look for my famous Moose Hat! 🦌 ### 🕒 Meetup Details * **Meeting time:** 11:00 AM * **Departure:** 11:05 AM sharp. I’ll wait a maximum of five minutes. * **Ending location:** We’ll return to our starting point, making it convenient for anyone arriving by transit or car. * **Meetup fee:** $5, payable in cash or by e-transfer to **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)**. ### 🥾 What to Bring * Water * Comfortable walking shoes * A snack if you’d like something before lunch * Weather-appropriate clothing ☔ **Rain or shine!** There’s no such thing as bad weather — just inappropriate clothing. ### 🍽️ After the Walk — We’d Love You to Join Us for Lunch! The walk is only part of the fun! After exploring Hogg’s Hollow, we’ll head to Swiss Chalet for lunch and more conversation. We encourage everyone to join us, even if you can only stay for a little while. Some of our best conversations happen after the activity, when we share stories, get to know one another, and start building friendships. The walk brings us together, but spending time together afterward is often where those connections really begin. We’d love for you to be part of it! Everyone pays for their own meal. ### 👥 About the Group Whether you’re single or partnered, you’re welcome to join us to get outdoors, meet people, and make connections. We also organize movies, walks, hikes, arts and culture outings, restaurant visits, and plenty more. **You can RSVP ahead of time or show up on the day** if you’re not sure you can make it. Organized by Mathew. Questions? Post on the event wall or email **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)**. 🍂 Enjoy the walk. Stay for lunch. Leave with new connections.
