This hike will take us on a loop through Midtown Toronto!

We will meet at Davisville Subway Station and proceed to the south side entrance of Mount Pleasant Cemetery, walk through Moore Park Ravine, passing along Evergreen Brick Works then loop around North to David Balfour Park then cross through Mount Pleasant Cemetery before making our way back to Davisville Subway Station.

Our walk will pass through historic Mount Pleasant Cemetry at the beginning and end of the walk. The cemetery has served Toronto since 1876 and is the final resting place of many prominent Canadians, including former prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King; Canada’s first female surgeon, Jennie Smillie-Robinson; popular Métis artist Youngfox; and renowned pianist Glenn Gould. The beautiful cemetery grounds also boasts some notable tree species!
