This is not a race and there are no prizes (other than bragging rights 🦫), but we'll do our best to find as many beavers as possible during our adventure. After the walk, we'll head over to **St. Lawrence Market** for lunch where we can relax, chat, and compare our favourite beaver sightings. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:** [Click here to join](http:/#) *** ## Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** Outside the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres 🫎 **Look for the Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time:** 11:00am ⏰ **I will only wait 5 minutes.** 🚶 **Please be prepared to walk.** This is not a difficult walk, but we will be covering a fair amount of distance over approximately 2 hours as we search for the beavers. 💰 **Meetup Fee:** $5 cash in person or E-transfer 📧 mathewmaclean@hotmail.com 🏁 **Ending Spot:** St. Lawrence Market 📱 **Beaver Quest App:** [Click Here!](https://oldtowntoronto.ca/beaverquest/) *** ## What To Expect 🦫 Hunt for as many of the 52 giant beavers as we can find 📸 Lots of photo opportunities 🚶 A fun downtown walking adventure 🤝 Meet new people and socialize ⚽ A unique way to experience Toronto's World Cup celebrations 🍴 Lunch afterward at St. Lawrence Market for anyone who would like to join us *** ## What To Bring 💧 Water 👟 Good walking shoes 📱 A fully charged phone for photos and the app 🧢 Weather-appropriate clothing *** REMEMBER YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP OR SIGN UP ON THE DAY IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU CAN MAKE IT.
