Drop-in schedule
The City is not listing any drop-in sessions at Riverdale Farm right now. Toronto publishes drop-in season by season, so a venue can sit quiet between them — the City's data was last read on 16 October. This page is re-checked every week, and the schedule reappears here as soon as the City publishes the next one.
Everything else on this page is current: the address, what the City lists on site, the washrooms and how to get here by TTC.
