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:

Address for the Starbucks is 5140 Yonge St.

There is street parking in the area, west of Beecroft Rd

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 south of Empress/Park Home on the west side.

Look for me in the Blue Toronto Outdoor Club T-Shirt.
