Some travel tips

(Provided by Allan Ireland)

There is a pretty good public transit option available to get to the Spring conference, for the FRIDAY and SATURDAY, especially for toastmasters in the GTA. For out–of–towners, if you can get to one of the train or bus terminals in Toronto, you can then access the appropriate subway station and make their way as directed below.

From the Don Mills subway station on the Sheppard line, there is a York Region bus (#90) that goes north from there and passes by Leslie and Highway 7, which is where the conference site (Sheraton Parkway North) is located.

Here is the bus schedule for the YRT #90 bus. Scroll down for the northbound schedule.

For SUNDAY, public transit is not nearly as friendly, but it is still possible:
From Finch station, take the #99 York Region bus which goes up Yonge to the Richmond Hill York Region bus terminal at Highway 7 and Yonge (half hour service on Sundays). Then transfer on to the #1 Highway 7 bus eastbound to Leslie (about 15 minutes to Leslie St. once you catch this bus). To catch the earliest #1 bus on a Sunday (8:30 am), you would need to take the 8:00 am #99 bus from Finch, and you would arrive at Hwy 7 and Leslie at about 8:45. That would get you there in time for the Speech Evaluation contest and Brunch but not for the 8:00 am workshop.

If you want to research this for yourself, here is the York Region transit site

There is also a taxi stand at the Finch York Region bus terminal. The fare from there would be about $20–$25 to get to the conference hotel from there.
