How to Get There:
Event Directions:

We'll be meeting at the South-West corner of Sheppard Leslie, which is just outside Leslie Subway Station. Leslie station is located on the Sheppard Subway Line.

Leslie Station is one of the most difficult stations to exit from. So if you're taking the subway, exit the subway platform through the passageway that leads off the platform. The exit is on the eastern side of the platform (IF YOU EXIT THE PLATFORM BY CLIMBING STAIRS / USING THE ELEVATOR OR ESCALATOR, YOU'VE ALREADY GONE THE WRONG WAY!!!
