Itinerary:

With the season just around the corner it is a great time to learn about x-country skiing. We are happy to have Jan Vopalensky talk to us about the subject. As well as being a TOC member, Jan is the XC Programs Director with CANSI (Canadian Association of Nordic Ski Instructors,) Ontario. Jan will talk about x-country ski equipment, techniques and clothing. He will show parts of a CANSI produced video “Ski Your Best” - available at http://www.cansi.ca/en/news/2007/04/000019.php (in small format.) There will be ample time for questions and answers during the evening.

The event will take place in my condo party room near St George and Bloor Sts. It will start at 7:30pm and be finished by about 9:30pm.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

95 Prince Arthur Ave. is the big red brick building at the corner of Prince Arthur and Huron. This corner is one block west of St. George St. and one block north of Bloor St.
St. George Station is very close by. Exit at the St George St. exit on the west side of the station – not the Bedford Rd. Turn north, away from Bloor St, and walk up St George St one half block to Prince Arthur Ave. Turn west (left) and walk along Prince Arthur half a block till the entrance of 95.
There is a desk at the front door with a concierge. Tell the concierge you are here for the party in the party room and he will let you in. If the concierge is away doing his rounds, call my cell 416 830-6160 and I will send someone to get you.
If you come by car there are parking meters and not too expensive parking lots close by.
