Follow the Raindrop!

Starting at the recreational pathway underpass at Westboro Beach, we will walk through the Westboro Beach neighbourhood to the transitway overpass.  We'll turn south on Workman Ave. to Atlantis Ave., and then go east on Atlantis, heading back to the beach.  (See the route map in the photo gallery below.)
