The Upcoming Charitable Toronto Zombie Walk 2012

The tenth annual Zombie Walk in Toronto lurches through Nathan Phillips Square this weekend. This year, Toronto zombies have decided to be charitable for their 2012 event.

Which Charity Benefits from the 2012 Zombie Walk in Toronto?

Charitable Toronto zombies support the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

Please help out your zombie friends by donating to Heart and Stroke when they shamble forward with their requests.

Is the Toronto Zombie Walk a “Come as You Are” Event?

Provident zombies might leave home already prepared for the event, wearing one’s own zombie costume. They might also bring their own zombie makeup and accessories.

On the other decaying hand, vendors will be available to apply the finishing touches to your complexion. At worst, it’s likely that some free effects and make-up will be donated.

Those of us who still remain alive can certainly view the event. What’s a zombie walk without spectators, who have the potential of becoming appetizing healthy snacks for the undead? The Zombie Walk is one of many annual Toronto events, but perhaps the best for seeing “dead people walking”.

When and Where is the 2012 Toronto Zombie Walk?

Shamble to Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday Oct. 20, 2012 at high noon for the start of the festivities.

Formalities begin at 2:30 pm, with live music performances. Zombie fitness enthusiasts lurch through a 5Km course from City Hall on Queen St. West, to University Ave., Dundas St., Yonge St. and back to City Hall.

I must make two observations about this charity “fitness” event. Surprisingly this charity event remains on the sidewalks, rather than closing the streets to vehicular traffic. Second, even undead zombies recognize the importance of physical fitness to enable one to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle…or perhaps “undead-style”. Older living people also can benefit from regular exercise; I noted a couple of them in “Seniors Running for Fitness and Glory in Toronto Marathon“.

“Live” music resumes at 4 pm, but it’s unclear how long Montreal’s The Brains can continue performing after their 6 pm start. After all, they are in hostile territory with the zombies hungering for them at this autumn Toronto event.

The annual schedule offers everyone the opportunity to develop and fine-tune their zombie costumes and makeup just in time for Hallowe’en parties.

Are Toronto’s Zombies Isolated in Canada?

No: Toronto zombies are simply slower to congregate in 2012 than those of other cities. A quick Internet search revealed many gruesome details.

Zombies have already walked the streets of Winnipeg last Saturday Oct. 13, 2012, to supply non-perishable food and cash donations to Winnipeg Harvest.

Zombies lurched through Sault Ste. Marie the same day and for a similar cause.

Other reports of zombie walks came from St. John, NB; Montreal, PQ; Windsor Ont.; and Vancouver BC. Diligent and vigilant readers might find past or future zombie walks in their own communities.

Register at the Official Toronto Zombie Walk Web Site

The organizers would like you to pre-register for Zombie Walk 2012 through their official site, but it’s a free event.

The Toronto Zombie Walk site has a number of pages, links to vendors of zombie makeup and related undead merchandise, and to the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Facebook page.

I especially enjoyed their sense of humour, with puns such as “5 Kill-o-meter stroll” to describe the 5Km walk.
