Downtown Toronto Waterfront | Long Weekend Spring Walk (May 2024)

A downtown Toronto walk along the waterfront on the Victoria Day long weekend. I start at Union Station and head south down Bay Street to the waterfront and head east passing through Harbour Square Park, HTO Park and its urban beach as well as the Music Garden.

[@Evan_StJohn]

Happy Victoria Day

[@martym61]

Nice video. Beautiful waterfront views in this one.

[@user-tj2gj2fy7n]

I love the city of Toronto and I really enjoy your videos

[@teaeff8898]

The waterfront is always a nice walk. That ferry is an ex-Halifax to Dartmouth ferry. The ones they run now are much larger. 😀

[@georgehoward9306]

Great waterfront video Johnny!

[@RedroomStudios]

May 24 weekend is always celebrated the 3rd weekend of May regardless of where the actual 24th falls.

[@harjotjassal9180]

Happy Victoria Day Johnny and everyone

[@SpeedbirdFF]

Great video! I flew in last weekend to catch a Jays game and walked from Billy Bishop to SkyDome. The weather wasn't quite as nice though. I miss living in Toronto and enjoy your videos.

[@shirleyscott8879]

So happy to see this. I’m coming into Toronto on the 4th June by megabus from Kingston and meeting a friend late afternoon. Planning on walking to the waterfront ! 😊

[@gabygaedecke2411]

If you have the time, a quick trip over to the Islands is essential - the view is unrivalled!

[@margaretr5701]

The Big Grey Slab, you referenced, will perhaps be used for upcoming events, markets, art, displays, etc., perhaps summertime food festivals, chairs, tables... I can't imagine such prime lakeside space, would be wasted. Great video.😊

[@Sheppard87]

48:11, 50:09 this looks so nice 😍. I love the waterfront. Could sit there all day 😅.

[@azamyahmad]

Absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation walk away tour and another great job Jhonny .. gorgeous filming edition camera work and a million thanks again my friend ..

[@johnnym196]

Hi, Johnny. Thank you for the nice, and enjoyable long weekend walk through the Toronto Waterfront area. Great video, and sound quality. See you in the next one. Yoink!

[@brigittegesierich7666]

Excellent filming. Thank you.

[@canman5060]

Victoria Harbor , Victoria Park , and Victoria Peak in Hong Kong are named after Queen Victoria.

[@welcome_Moscow_walks]

Beautiful area of Toronto 😊

[@marytaylor9185]

Just finished watching the video. I really enjoyed taking the walk with you! .....LOL As a senior, I enjoyed seeing all the changes to the waterfront. So good that you give a little commentary about the history, sculptures, ferry and taxi info....It gives me a good look at the area before taking my grandchildren for a visit.......but most of all how to get there by TTC. Thanks!

[@margaretr5701]

Have fun!

[@franklynmars3207]

Helloo Good morning Mr. Johnny Strides, Torontos millennial Jamesbond😉 Truly hoped all is going xcellent and awesumme with u! This was a beautiful ☀️☀️Victoria day long weeknd stream you tagged us along with through SugR Beach via the Queensquay walk along Martin goodman trail plus all along the lakeshore boardwalk and H2O..oooh bwouy I love that deep blue sky and the reflection it has over the lake. ok thanks jolly mach

[@kristahannah]

Johnny you should consider sending that footage of the FlixBus driver bullying the pedestrian who had the the right of way to their company. That driver needs a reminder of the rules of the road within dense cities.

[@lisadeeyoung]

That's not a bad idea. Anyone could flag it with them, really - it's publicly accessible.

[@canman5060]

Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901.

[@shirleyscott8879]

What a fool. No helmet in traffic.

[@j_m_3590]

The bus driver honked at her cuz she was on her phone

[@JohnnyStrides]

So the bus driver is an asshole? She had the signal and was crossing...

[@margaretr5701]

Maybe driver has had too many near misses due to ppl on their phones. Hopefully a warning, or a reflex..... Strange, bcs she had right of way, but it must be hard driving in Toronto.

[@RedroomStudios]

why do you have a problem with the bus honking at the girl crossing the street? people shouldnt be so entitled to just slowly take their time and holding up traffic like that. she was dragging her ass so slowly. if I was in that situation and saw the bus wanting to turn I would run and get out of the intersection as quick as possible. I actually do that every day now where I am living in Mexico. you must be an entitled liberal based on your opinion here.

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Because vehicles should not rule the world. Getting behind the wheel does not entitle you to anything! I, too, am courteous to drivers - but honking at a pedestrian is just aggressive and rude. "Entitled liberal"??? Stop hatemongering.

[@j_m_3590]

@@gabygaedecke2411 she was on her phone. watch it back

[@JohnnyStrides]

This is such a stupid f-ing take. Since when does a vehicle have priority over a person crossing the street when they have the signal? She was crossing, with the signal at a reasonable pace for FFS, if that were me I'd have stopped in my tracks and given that bus driver a one finger salute.

[@richardcaterini4309]

There was a time that one would hurry across an intersection or street so as not to impede traffic. Not now!! Clearly evident in your response is a generation that is obsessed with your "rights" as an individual that the good of the collective has simply been lost. That bus driver was simply telling that girl to hurry up & move across the street! Why don't you understand that ??

[@shirleyscott8879]

Some people can’t hurry for physical reasons. You are correct, however that some just don’t bother hurrying.

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Respectfully disagree. Not about the rights of individuals, but a pushback against Toronto's car-centric infrastructure. Everything paved over, traffic is king, we pedestrians are only obstacles. No more.

[@JohnnyStrides]

WTF are you on about? We all wait our turn, I'm not running so some impatient asshole can make their turn. Right of way is right of way, please tell me you don't drive with this attitude 🙄
