'An opportunity to say thank you': UHN's first large-scale fundraising walk celebrates health care and innovation
We Walk UHNited's Saturday event advocates for Canadian health care and celebrated the patients helped by the hospital network.
Roads surrounding the Exhibition Place such as Saskatchewan Road, British Columbia Road, Princes Boulevard, Quebec Street, PEI Crescent and Dufferin Street between Springhurst Avenue and Saskatchewan Road will also be closed.
While public transportation is recommended, the event has disrupted the 329 Dufferin night buses Sunday morning. The route will not enter the Canadian National Exhibition grounds and will stop at the Dufferin Gate Loop. The TTC warned riders that the event may also cause delays to the 91 Woodbine and 95 York Mills routes until 4 p.m.
Adding to the weekend's disruptions, the first-ever We Walk UHNited fundraiser took place on Saturday, with 2K and 5K walks in support of the UHN Foundation leading to multiple downtown street closures through the morning and early afternoon.
