From June and September, a series of summer time programming is designed to engage and entertain the whole family.

From the square you can take a stroll to the Eaton Centre, connect to Toronto’s famous PATH underground pedestrian network, also known as Toronto’s “underground city” – a 25+ kilometer route of connected pathways, corridors and wide atriums lined with a dizzying variety of shops, services and food courts that serve the both the corporate office towers above it, and its surrounding community. Walk along the path and connect to all Downtown TTC Subway stations, major tourist attractions and key buildings in the core.
