Walk Summary:
This 4km walk route includes some of our Walk Crew's favourite Queen West local businesses, where we've enjoyed some of our Après Walk socials over the past year and a half. The stops along this route include: - our weekly meeting point, lululemon Queen St.W. - the 401 Richmond Building 2nd floor mural of Jane Jacobs, where we also did a short indoor walk on a really cold winter Wednesday in 2025 - the Kardia studio entrance, where we meet the Kardia run crew to provide back-of-the-pack and walk support on their monthly social run - the Rogers Centre where we joined the watch party for Game 5 of the Jays during last year's World Series - Hot Black Coffee, an Asian and Women-owned local coffee spot where we've had our year-end Après Walk before the holiday break in December - Ki Movement reformer pilates, also an Asian and Women-owned business that has hosted us post-walk - Opteaq where we enjoyed Après Walk bubble tea - Score on Queen where we participated in their free Wednesday night Bingo - Neverland Flying Books, where we joined in a wine tasting and have ended a handful of walks with tea and hot chocolate by the front window. The QSW Walk Crew meets every Wednesday evening for recreational group walks, free of charge, with a different 3-5km (30-45min, sometimes 1 hour) walk route ending at a local event, exploring a particular part of a neighbourhood, or ending at a local business for post-walk treats in an effort to promote local and continue building community connections.
