As BMWNTHZST suggested, meeting on the upper deck of the Bay parking lot works for me!

Hey guys.
I was at Fairview yesterday, and that top parking lot near the bay is currently under construction with no access. I dont know when the construction will be completed. But just a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up!

So anyone have any suggestions for an alternative meeting spot within Fairview Mall?

How about here (see attached PDF) again sorry for the pdf and not a direct link.

It's located on the lower (ground) level with quick access to the hwy.

Since I am coming from London, ON. and will be encountering rush hour traffic in the GTA I've decided to go directly to the Ajax GO Station on the east side of Toronto. I will time it so that I will be there before 11 am.

Anyone else is planning to go to the Ajax GO Station Position "A" on the map below?

In my opinion leaving from Ajax GO Station in a group will be less stressful trying to stay together in a group with others due to GTA morning traffic. Why don't we make this our final meeting place and set a departure time between 11:00 and 11:15 Hours so no one get's left behind and we can proceed from here as a group altogether, any thought's?

9 Days to go

I'm ok with meeting at Ajax GO instead of Fairview Mall.

I'll see you at 10:45am

That works for me as well. How about the other Toronto folks?

BucurFoto · 04-26-2012, 06:47 PM

I would be easy for any location really, we just need to establish 100% where we should meet.
