Hike & Celebrate: Eco Day at Todmorden Mills

Come and join us for a 6km hike that takes you through a variety of green spaces in Midtown Toronto, from David Balfour Park to Todmorden Mills.

We’ll begin at Davisville Station and make our way through the historic Mount Pleasant Cemetery, the largest cemetery in the city, known for its quiet, tree-lined paths. From there, we’ll continue through David Balfour Park, following scenic trails through the ravine.

The hike wraps up at the Todmorden Mills Heritage Site, just in time for the Eco Day event, a chance to learn about local ecology, explore ideas around sustainable living, and enjoy time outdoors with the community. Don't forget to look for the Let's Hike T.O. stand.

Hiking shoes are recommended.
