Strawberry picking, and creating delicious desserts from the spoils, has become a much-loved summer GCF tradition.
Join us for this year’s adventures! Mark June 30th on your calendars.
This post will be updated with more details as they become available.
Hi everyone,
After a lovely hike last week, we’re back in the office this week for GCF (though we can still share a baked chicken by tearing it apart with our hands if you want, for memory’s sake).
Here’s the low down, since I know you all just skim these emails 🙂
When: 6:30pm
Where: The office, basement of Wycliffe
What: shared pot’luck’ dinner (go to http://ietherpad.com/summer-gcf to share what you’re sharing… please), followed by a time of hanging out
Looking forward to seeing all of you this week!
Hello friends,
This week, GCF goes outside! We’re going to have our conversations while hiking one of Toronto’s many lovely ravine trails, and the weather looks like it might just cooperate with us. Here are the details:
Where?
Rosedale ravines: George Balfour Park, Park Drive Reservation, Evergreen Brickworks, Chorley Park, Moore Park
When?
Meet at 6:30 sharp at the St Clair Subway station (Yonge + St Clair) on the north side (St Clair St exit, by the little McDonald’s outlet). We only have so much time until it gets dark, so let’s try to get going on time
Food?
As usual, bring something to share, but try to make it portable (e.g. finger food, no cutlery/dishes required). We’ll either munch while walking, or find a place to sit and eat. I know it’s fun to lurk on the food sign-up sheet ( http://ietherpad.com/summer-gcf), see what other people are bringing, and then decide last-minute what you’ll bring, but it’s also helpful to have at least some folks add their food to the list (or it’s no fun lurking!).
Also, please be sure to bring some WATER!
Depending on how much time/energy we have, we may
a) get through all the parks I mentioned, end up at Moore Ave and take the #88 bus back to St Clair Station
b) detour part way through and head up to the Sherbourne subway station
c) return the way we came and end up back at St Clair Station.
