Ontario Rootschat Meeting - 2008
« on: Thursday 22 May 08 00:39 BST (UK) »
Hello Everyone,

Just thought I would start this thread now to see who is interested in attending another meet in Ontario.

August seemed to be a good time.

Last time we met at Kelsey's by the Airport in Toronto.

Does anyone have another venue in mind? 

Suggestions most welcome!!

Karen,

I'd love to join you if it can be near Ottawa or Kingston, Gananoque would be great.

Hi Kath,

I was thinking the Toronto area as that seems to be the most convenient for people coming from the North, East and West.

Karen,

That's fine. I am actually in central NY, so Ottawa or Kingston is more feasable for me, but I am sure there are more people able to make it to Toronto. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Toronto would be too much of a trip for me this summer, as we have several trips planned for the summer already, but I certainly won't rule it out for the future. I hope it works out.

Great idea, Karen!

Something on the subway line would be ideal for me, if possible.

Hi Karen,

Gr8 idea, I should be in that area during my vacation and family reunion in S. Ont. during August. Since I'm situated in N. Ont, any where in T.O area is fine with me.

Hi Karen.

I missed the last one so would very much like to go this time.

I live East of Toronto and would prefer S. Ontario. 

The last two/three weeks in June are out for me.

Regards,  Rob

I can't drive, so would have to be easily accessible by public transit, if in Toronto.

Chinatown?  Either Spadina or Steeles/Kennedy (Scarborough).  They have nice big round tables.
