How to Get There:

Event Directions:

We'll meet outside the Starbucks at North York Centre Subway Station. The Starbucks is located on the west of Yonge St and on the north side of Mel Lastman Square and across the street from Empress Walk Mall.

For those driving:

You can PARK FOR FREE at Finch subway station and walk 20 minutes south along Yonge St. to our starting location.

Or, there's a pay parking lot on the North-East corner at Empress/Park Home and Yonge Street, which is three traffic lights north of Sheppard Ave. Then it's just a short walk to the Starbucks, which is located on the south-west side.

Look for me with a GOLDEN whistle on my backpack.
