Join Jimmy Vincent from Humber Arboretum and Janette Harvey from the City of Toronto to explore the connections between the built and natural environment along the Etobicoke waterfront in this Jane's Walk event. 

Beachcombing is the practice of searching a beach for things of value, interest or utility. The shorelines of Colonel Samuel Smith Park contain many clues about the natural and cultural history of the park, and its importance for wildlife and migratory species.

The walk is 1.5 hours and ends at a community planting event – feel free to stay and plant native wetland and pollinator species.

Meet in the Colonel Samuel Smith Park Parking Lot at the very south end of the park. (There is an additional parking lot next to the Power House, a short walk north from the meeting place.) Look for the City of Toronto flag.
