We’ve got a great selection of exciting winter events and activities that you’re going to love!
For many of us, it doesn’t really feel like winter has really begun until the holiday season ends and January is upon us. While you might be planning on a warm and cosy winter hibernation — complete with a healthy dose of Netflix and snacks — there are actually still a lot of great reasons to bundle up and brave the cold right here in the Market District neighbourhood. Here are some of our top choices this season!
Learning Winter Photography - Saturday January, 14th
Cedar Trail — Zoo Road Area of Rouge National Urban Park
Bring your camera or smart phone and join hike leader Roger Correia to learn the basics of outdoor winter photography at Rouge National Urban Park. The day will consist of a 2 hour family friendly walk at an easy pace. This event is not doggie friendly however, so make sure to leave your furry friends at home.
