Please arrive a few minutes early, as we're departing the Southbound Platform of Sheppard Yonge TTC Station at 9:30 a.m. for Queen Station, from where we'll walk to the iconic Nathan Phillips Square to experience the great Canadian outdoors on ice. Skate rentals are $9 for two hours (discounts available for 10 or more). You can bring your own pair and skate for free. Also, don't forget your camera, snacks, drinks, and nice, warm, water-resistant clothing and gloves (even if the weather report says the high will be 0 degrees).
Although the freeze of winter can promote a healthy lifestyle, there's shelter from the elements available. Mercifully, there's Toronto's climate-controlled "underground city" through the record-setting PATH network, which we also hope to check out on foot.
The plan is to arrive in time for a free 40-minute Music at Midday organ recital at the historic St James Cathedral, at Church and King, starting at 1 p.m. According to the program, Neil Cockburn, an organist from Calgary, will be performing.Be there!
