Since I live downtown, I decided to test the walking to the Events Centre (EV) from my perspective.

Subject: regular 55 year old guy in ok shape with no physical issues.
Walking pace: normal
Time of day: 21:30
Sweat rating from 1-10 once reached destination: 1.5

Test walk one: Started at Wilson's Gas bar corner of St-George & Bostford. Walked straight to Main st, turn right, straight to EV. Time: 12 minutes sharp.

Test walk two: Corner of Main & Highfield straight to St-George, 5 minutes. Then straight to Mt-Road, 6 minutes. 11-12 minutes total from EV to Mt-Rd.

Only obstacle, St-George street hooker who popped out from the Uni bank parking lot. Never made eye contact.

Anyway, green radius is pretty much a 5 minute max walk, red radius is 10-12 minutes max.

Walk time from my house to EV, 7-8 minutes.
