Photo Walk Description
This will be part of a regular Toronto Photo Walks event – we meet every other Saturday to explore different parts of Toronto. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this walk enough to want to come out again with us! 
The Plan: [map]
- The TOPW group usually meets at 10:00am, and you’re welcome to join us then or at any time during the walk.
- The morning part of the walk starts in Budd Sugarman Park, cuts across Ramsden Park, heads a short way up Avenue Road, hugs the train line east to Yonge and then turns north to the lunch stop.
- We usually stop for lunch at a pub, and this walk is no exception; we’ll aim to be at the Monk’s Table by about 12:30pm.
- After lunch we’ll head south on Yonge, back to Budd Sugarman Park for the start of the “official” 2-3 hour Worldwide Photo Walk. (I say “official” because the recommendation is for the WWPW to be 2 hours, but you’re welcome to join us for all/part of the walk.)
- From there we’ll walk around the east side of Rosedale subway station, through another park and along Rosedale Valley Road. Cutting west on Church and then Davenport, we’ll pass by Jesse Ketchum school on our way to Hazelton Avenue, then south to Cumberland St and east to the post-walk stop.
- We always end our walks at a pub; we should arrive at the Duke of York (close to St.George subway) by about 5:30pm.
What do you need?
- Obviously a camera would be a good idea! Doesn’t matter if it’s film or digital; Canon, Nikon, medium format, or even a phone!
- We’ll be walking through a couple of parks, so wear your “sensible” shoes
- As the regular members of TOPW will tell you, I have a knack for organising photo walks on rainy days, so be prepared – bring rain gear for yourself and your camera.
- If you’re joining us for lunch and/or post-walk drinks, don’t forget money and photo ID.
- I’ll publish my phone number closer to the date; be sure to have it with you in case you’re running late or get separated from the group.
Sharing your photos:
There is a Toronto Photo Walks group on Flickr, which is where most people post their shots from our walks. (We have a website and Facebook group too, but Flickr is where most people hang out.)
What did I forget?
If you have any questions, leave a comment and I’ll try to answer quickly.

First the walk wasn’t available in Toronto area. Now that it is, its full.
Not sure why you haven’t been able to see the walk / sign up but it’s been public for about a week.
You could join the waiting list or there’s a Beaches walk @ http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/toronto-on-canada-the-beaches/
We’ve got a growing waiting list so if anyone who’s signed up cannot make it, please remove yourself or leave a comment.
Hi Paul,
I’m in Key West for all of August and can’t seem to get my iPad to let me sign up. Can you put me on the wait list.
Cheers,
Andrew
Sorry, I can’t add anyone to the list. (FYI there’s currently 6 people on the waiting list.)
OK thanks. Perhaps next year.
Cheers,
Andrew
There’s one more scheduled Toronto Photo Walk before the WWPW; check our website @ http://topw.ca
how do i know if im registered or still on the waiting list?
You’re #6 on the waiting list (as of 7:30am Thursday); according to the list that I can see “The waiting list represents the priority in which attendees will be added to the main walker roster if/when space is available. If you were added to this location’s waiting list you will receive an email upon making the registered walker roster. If you’d prefer not to wait, you’re welcome to sign up for a different location.”
Namasté Paul and fellow walkers….we send you our best for you photowalk from Austin Texas USA.

Keep it sharp,
Carlos and Kirk
Hope you had a great walk!
Thanks to everyone who joined us on the Worldwide Photo Walk!
Please remember to tag your photos with "TOPW:SY" (Summerhill & Yorkville) and add shot (or two) to this thread – just put the image’s URL in square brackets and Flickr will do the rest!
When we post the group shot, please tag yourself – ideally add a note (draw a box on the photo) and "add a person" rather than just using the "People in this photo" section.
Just for the Worldwide Photo Walk there’s an additional WWPW Toronto group; please add the tag "wwpw" for anything you post here.
Here’s some info I received from the WWPW people:
Thanks again to everyone who joined us; hopefully you had a great time and we’ll see you again on future Toronto Photo Walks.

Jeff asked if the whole day or only the afternoon counts as the WWPW; answer is it’s the whole walk.
I’ll post details of the October 15th "Fall Foilage" walk later this week; there’s also a walk on October 29th and then it’s our 2nd Anniversary Party on November 12th – put it in your diary and make sure you’re there!!!!
Congratulations Laura.
“Rails Through Town” is a fantastic shot.
THanx Jeff.
The sky in that shot had really caught my eye when we were walking.
