Beach Walks Toronto

Beaches, Kew Gardens & Ashbridges Bay Fall Walk

🌊 The Beaches Founder Walk - Walk, Talk & Meet Interesting People

**A casual Saturday walk along Woodbine Beach with a small group of Toronto entrepreneurs, founders and people building interesting things.** What if meeting other entrepreneurs was simply going for a walk together? That's the idea behind our Founder Walks. We've been organizing them around Toronto's waterfront, and something interesting has been happening. People are returning, bringing friends, exchanging contacts and staying long after the walks finish to continue their conversations. We've now started organizing dinners, special outings and other activities together. So we're bringing the Founder Walk to **The Beaches!** ### What happens? We meet, make a few quick introductions, and head out for a walk along the Woodbine Beach boardwalk. We keep conversation groups to roughly **5–8 people**, with additional hosts when needed. You'll meet people from different backgrounds who are running businesses, building startups, consulting, exploring AI, working on projects or simply interested in entrepreneurship. The conversations are casual and go wherever people take them. **No presentations. No awkward networking exercises. No hard selling.** The goal isn't to meet 50 people. It's to meet one or two people you genuinely want to stay in touch with. ### Who should come? You'll probably enjoy this if you're curious about other people, interested in business and ideas, enjoy good conversations, and want to expand your circle. You don't need an impressive title or a successful startup. **Curious beats impressive.** **🚩Important: Meetup RSVP ≠ confirmed spot** **Keep your Meetup RSVP as Going so the event stays visible here. You will get link to a short application after you RSVP.** **The Beaches Founder Walk** **Sunday · 3:00 PM · Harbourfront** About 75 minutes walking along the waterfront with a small group of founders, entrepreneurs and business owners. That's basically it. No presentations. No name tags. No awkward networking exercises. No hard selling. Just walk, talk and hopefully meet **one or two people you'd actually want to see again.** We're keeping the first one small while we figure out what works. 🚩Meetup Location: Toronto Beach Club **📅Saturday schedule** **🕛3:00 PM — Arrive / check in** **🕛3:15 PM — Introductions** Tell us who you are, what you're working on and one interesting way you're using—or want to use—AI. **🕛3:30 PM — Walk begins** We'll rotate conversations and introduce a few AI discussion prompts along the route. **🕛Around 4:30 PM — Official finish** Many stay afterwards to network. Some people may grab food or a drink afterward. **🏃Running late?** Don't give up on coming. Approved guests can join our Sunday Walk WhatsApp group. Once we're moving, we'll share our live location so late arrivals can catch up. #TorontoEntrepreneurs #TorontoFounders #FounderWalk #EntrepreneurCommunity #TESSocial 📸***Photo, Video & Audio Notice:*** *By registering for or attending this event, you acknowledge that photos, video and audio recordings may be captured during the event.

Lunchtime Walk at Felstead Park (Mountjoy Ave)

Welcome to our first Walk & Talk Near the Danforth! If you work from home, are retired, or just want a midday break and chat, please join us. You don’t need to know anyone beforehand - please show up, say hi! **The Plan:** We’ll gather at 11:50 AM at the NORTHEAST corner of Felstead Park (Mountjoy Ave and the laneway) and set off promptly at noon. We'll walk out for about 20 minutes, then turn back, aiming to finish by 12:50. The distance will depend a little on the group's pace. We'll walk in small groups where possible, and there will be opportunities to chat with different people along the way. **The Route:** We’ll walk at a conversational pace, but this walk is not flat - there is a hill down under the railroad tracks toward Woodfield Road and back up again, so please make sure you’re comfortable with a steady walk that includes hills. We'll start at Felstead Park, walk through the laneway towards Monarch Park and under the railway tracks, aiming to stick to quiet residential streets and lanes. **A few practical details** • Weather and Cancellation: We’ll walk in light rain or snow, but I will cancel if conditions are icy or severe. Please turn on notifications for the group so you don’t miss a cancellation. I'll post an update on the event page by 9 a.m. if we need to cancel. • RSVP: If your plans change, please update your RSVP so someone else can take your place. • Group guidelines: This is a friendly, inclusive, social walk. We're starting with adults only and no dogs or strollers. Please review the route to ensure it feels comfortable for you and take care when crossing streets. Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting this group walking!

🍂🌿 NEW FALL WALK: Discover Biidaasige Park 🌿🍂

# 🍂🌿 **NEW FALL WALK: Discover Biidaasige Park** 🌿🍂 ### A Brand-New Toronto Park, Fall Colours & Waterfront Trails We're trying something **new**! Join us for our first group walk to **Biidaasige Park**, one of the newest and most ambitious parks in Toronto. Opened as part of the massive transformation of the Port Lands, the park sits on **Ookwemin Minising**, Toronto's new island where the Don River meets Lake Ontario. This isn't a walk we've done before, which makes it a little more exciting. We'll spend much of the afternoon actually **exploring the park rather than rushing through it** — following its trails, enjoying the waterfront, taking in the fall scenery, and stopping along the way to appreciate the new landscape. The park is enormous, with more than **50 acres already open** and more sections being added as the Port Lands transformation continues. There are curated trails and paths, viewpoints, natural areas, and places to get down closer to the new Don River. And because we're doing this in the fall, we'll get to experience the park at a completely different time of year — cooler air, changing leaves, open skies, and fewer summer crowds. 🍂 We'll meet at the **Young Centre in the Distillery District** simply because it's an easy and convenient meeting point before we head toward the park. We won't be spending the day touring the Distillery District — **the park is the destination.** 📲 **Don't Forget to join our WhatsApp Group – [\[CLICK HERE!\]](http://xn--%5Bclick%20here!%5D(%20join%20our%20whatsapp%20group-cu832c:%20Click%20here%20to%20join)/)** *** ## 🚶‍♂️ **What We'll Do** We'll meet outside the **Young Centre for the Performing Arts** and make our way toward Biidaasige Park. Once we reach the park, we'll slow things down and spend about **90 minutes exploring the trails and waterfront**. Along the way we'll: * 🍂 Enjoy the fall colours * 🌿 Explore the park's trails and green spaces * 🌊 Walk along the new waterfront landscape * 📸 Stop for photos and scenic views * 🌳 Explore the natural areas around the new Don River * 🌆 Take in views toward the Toronto skyline and Toronto Islands * 🚶‍♂️ Enjoy plenty of time to walk and talk with the group The walk itself will be approximately **2 hours**, but we're not trying to race through it. **This is about experiencing the park.** It's our first time doing this walk, so we'll take our time and actually enjoy discovering what has been created here. *** ## 🌊 **Why Biidaasige Park?** Biidaasige Park is part of one of the biggest transformations Toronto has seen in decades. The new Don River was created as part of the Port Lands Flood Protection project, transforming former industrial land into a new river valley, wetlands, parkland and public spaces. The first phase of Biidaasige Park opened in July 2025. The park includes **accessible trails, cycling paths, river access, wetlands, viewpoints and waterfront promenades**, with views toward the Toronto Islands, Inner Harbour and skyline. And there's something particularly fun about visiting a place that is still **brand new**. We're not revisiting an old Toronto favourite. **We're discovering somewhere new together.** *** ## 🍺 **After the Walk: The Keating Channel Pub & Grill** After exploring the park, we'll head over to **The Keating Channel Pub & Grill** for lunch. The pub sits right on the Keating Channel and has been a local fixture in the area for more than 20 years. After years of Port Lands construction made the neighbourhood difficult to reach, the transformation of the area has brought new life and new visitors back to the waterfront. It's a nice way to finish the day: **a brand-new park followed by one of the neighbourhood's old survivors.** Lunch is optional, but everyone is welcome to join us. *** ## 🍂 **Fall Weather & Expectations** This is a **social urban walk**, not a difficult hike. We'll be walking for approximately two hours, including our time exploring the park, so you should be comfortable being on your feet for that length of time. Please dress for typical Toronto fall weather. The waterfront can be cooler and windier than other parts of the city, so a warm layer is a good idea. *** ## 🧢 **Meetup Details** 📍 **Meetup Location:** Outside the **Young Centre for the Performing Arts**, 50 Tank House Lane, in the Distillery District. Young Centre for the Performing Arts 🫎 **Look for me in my Moose Hat!** ⏰ **Meetup Time: 11:00 AM sharp** I will only wait **5 minutes**. **Early is on time. On time is late.** 🏁 **End Point:** The Keating Channel Pub & Grill *** ## 🎟️ **Meetup Fee** **$5 cash in person or e-transfer** 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue organizing walks and events throughout Toronto. *** ## 🎒 **What to Bring** 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 🥪 A snack 🧥 Weather-appropriate clothing 📸 Your phone or camera for photos *** ## 🌈 **Who Is This For?** This walk is great for: * People who enjoy discovering new places in Toronto * Anyone who likes parks and waterfront trails * People who want a relaxed social walk * Anyone interested in seeing Toronto's newest public spaces * People who enjoy exploring somewhere they've never been before * Anyone who wants to spend a fall day outside with good people The park may be new. **The idea is the same: come out, walk with us, and meet some people along the way.** *** 📲 **You're welcome to RSVP ahead of time — or just show up on the day if you're unsure about your schedule.** Sometimes things happen and events may need to be cancelled or changed, so please keep an eye on the event page for updates. 👤 **Organizer: Mathew** Questions? Post on the event wall or email: 📧 **torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com** **Come discover a new park.** **Stay for the fall colours.** **Stay a little longer for lunch and friendship.** 🍂🌿🍺
