Join us this Earth Day for a clean-up in partnership with Don't Mess with The Don! DMWTD does incredible work throughout the year, clearing vast amounts of trash from the area. This will be their biggest clean-up of the year where we'll help them clear thousands of pounds of trash.
There'll be snacks, drinks and prizes as well as the warm glow of helping clean up our city.
We're picking you up from both Union and Keele this week.
We're partnering with Don't Mess With the Don, a volunteer-led charity organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the natural heritage of the Don Valley and Toronto ravines. They'll be kitting us out with garbage bags once we get there. There won't be any crazy hiking involved but prepare to work as we clear away huge quantities of rubbish.
09:00 - Those leaving from Keele meet at the PetroCanada by Keele Station
09:10: Shuttle leaves from PetroCanada at Keele Station. Please note that we leave dead on 9:10am and can't wait for latecomers.
09:15 - Second pick up from Union Station. We're in Grasshopper, the big red van and will pull in at the main Front Street entrance opposite the entrance to the Fairmont Hotel.
09:20 - We leave from Union Station. Please note that we leave dead on time and can't wait for latecomers!
09:45: Meet at this parking lot at ErnestThomas Seton Park. It's accessible by public transport and city bike! Look out for our big red van if you're meeting us there or ping on Discord

This custom map is georeferenced, meaning it will show you where you are on the map in the right software and lays out the rough path that we’ll be following. It’s opened with the Avenza app which must be downloaded and installed in advance of the adventure.
You should also download the What3words app - this makes it easy to share and find locations in the unlikely event that you get lost.
It looks like there'll be some food served there at 12 but you may want to bring snacks to sustain you
We like to share some of the indigenous background of the areas we visit because these territories have rich histories that are easy to overlook. Indigenous communities have a connection to and respect for the land that has largely been lost since European settlement. As we strive to form a deeper connection with the land, we have much to learn from these communities. You can use the Native Land map to learn more about these areas.
Toronto has a particularly long and varied indigenous history, groups who maintain connections to the land include:
