Lets hope that maybe this year it will be posted on the website just like the ride is posted this year. :)

I know at the Orientation last year, they kind of hinted that the route would be different (and mayb not go to Downsview), but it did end up being generally the same, so they had everyone worried for nothing. :) Maybe that's the same this year.

Hi Kady1999,

I don't know Chad personally but he posts a lot on the weekend Facebook site. He's done several walks already this year. You can contact him at chad@butterflyofhope.ca

Hi,

I found this on the events page of the Downsview Park website.

Event Date(s) Hosted by Weekend to End Womens Cancers A 60-kilometre walk to raise funds for womens cancer research at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. This year the walk will begin and end at Downsview Park with many participants camping overnight in the Park. Registration required. Looking for accommodations before or after the concert? Check out Downsview Park's partner hotels offering a discounted special Downsview Park rate: Holiday Inn Toronto Yorkdale Holiday Inn Express North Toronto Comfort Inn Toronto North Sep 10 & 11 Princess Margaret Hospital So it looks like we will be starting & finishing at Downsview this year.

Hi,

Check out the posts on the "One Venue" discussion. Some of us received an email informing us of the venue change - but appears a lot of people didn't get an email. Not sure why. I posted part of the email in one of my messages. I would hope the moderator/coach of this discussion board would notice the confusion and ensure the WEWC - Toronto site and the Facebook site would get updated with the info for all to see.

Hi Karen,
