Any interest in a Canadian get-together in Toronto this Summer?

[Rich Gibson]

Something in August? We're on our last container of Canadian Maple syrup (thanks Sandi! ) so we're looking to another jaunt 'to the Great North' :tongue:. Once word gets around we'll move this to places to shoot.

 

[TommyO]

If you're gonna be there, I think most of the Cafe guys are gonna be there - no WAY are we passing up the opportunity to shoot with the Cafe studmufin!

 

[kixsand]

That would be easy for me!

 

[BruceEvans]

I'm game.

[Markb]

I'll provide a yes to that one.

 

[catalyst]

I can and would (happily :smile come up to Toronto during Aug. 1-4.

 

[Catz]

I am thinking about it because my 16 year old wants me to take him to Toronto for some car thing going on as he is an avid car enthusiast. Let us know when.

Count me in

Count me in :biggrin:

I had a terrible time there in March. It was as cold as it could possibly be and still be raining. Raining so hard I couldn't see out my hotel window.

I wanna go back!

 

[Markb]

Well Rich, not including Sandi, you've got six in, possibly more.

Melissa, what event is your son interested in?

 

[TOLady]

I can give a yes when we know the dates. I'm loaning out my house to visitors from the UK so the dates will matter to me. BTW, August in TO is supposed to be BRUTALLY hot.

 

[Bunsen Honeydew]

Just a two hour drive max for me, so I would be interested, again depending on the dates. I have a wedding on the 31st July.

 

[Rich Gibson]

It will be in August.

 

[Markb]

C'mon Sandi, it's not the heat it's the humidity.:biggrin:

Sometime at the end of August I'll be driving my daughter back to Halifax for school, I don't know the dates yet, but we could plan this and I'll either work around it or send my regrets.

So what would people like to try and shoot?

A bunch of people with cameras walking down the street... that will be fun.

Dundas Square and the TD towers atrium are a must ... so is Casa Loma, then there is the ... if we work it well, the Kensington Market pedestrian Sunday which is always great so is the graffiti alley on Queen street starting at Spadina and city hall ... what else? The ROM is a must from the outside and a walk down U of T downtown campus is always fun photography wise.

There is Toronto Island which can be fun but the beaches is funner IMHO in terms of area and things to do while there.

It really depends on the dates - again we could even do a day trip by bus - to Niagara Falls... leave at 8:15 a.m. and come back around 6:30 ish in time for dinner ... just to maximize what's in and around the city of Toronto, get back to me when you guys have set a date for the Toronto GTG.

Casa Loma

It should be when the most folks can participate. I'm retired so I can make it about any week-end.
