DORIT'S DAY DOWNTOWN

Despite a chilly breezy day with spells of sunshine 64 participants met at the Davisville Station for today's hike. The Leader, Dorit Zschape, herded the throng of Seniors into Oriole Park before imparting the day's itinerary

Dorit also announced that today was St. Nicholas Day and she generously had brought a large bag of candies for the group to suck on!

Today was also Bobbie Ardell's Birthday to which the Senior Hiking Choir sang "Happy Birthday"

Ann then stood up to give some important winter do's and dont's. Do remember to pee at the outset. Know that Washrooms are closed during the winter months. Don't block entrances at Subway Stations (today was an example) Be considerate, it's a dying practice!

Rene volunteered to "Sweep" and handout the "Sweets"

Off we go crossing over Yonge Street on the Beltline Bridge

Then a sharp turn into Mt. Pleasant Cemetery

We made it out of the Cemetery without loosing anyone!
