Please remember that the time change to Standard Time occurs this weekend and if you do not change your clock, you will be at the start one hour late.

Yeung will lead us on a second City Walk around his Mimico neighbourhood, but in a different area than his walk first walk last November. In a change from most City Walks (that start at a subway station) we will meet at Mimico GO Station at about 10:00 AM. The walk will start at 10:10 AM.

To get to Mimico GO station you can:

• Take the GO train from Union Station to Mimico GO station, service every 30 minutes, arrival times 9:33 AM or 10:03 AM, (approximately 15 minutes travel time from Union),
• Take 76 A bus from Royal York Station to Newcastle St, service every 10 minutes, approximately 10 minute bus ride plus 3 minute walk to Mimico GO station (approximately 14 minute travel time from Royal York station),
• Note that depending on where you are coming from, taking the GO train may be quicker than the TTC, and because of the “One Fare” program only costs $0.40 more. Travelling from Yonge-Bloor station to Mimico GO is about 15 minutes quicker than TTC alone.
• Please check GO and TTC routes and schedules in case there are changes from the above.
• If you are driving, free parking is available at Mimico GO Station on weeekends.

The last time this post was updated, there were no subway or GO train outages scheduled, but please check https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service#e=0 or https://www.gotransit.com/en/service-updates for updates.
