Karen,

The date is good for me but it's too far away:   I don't drive.  The actual city would be ideal for me but, since I'm only one person, you have to arrange what's best for the majority.  If I can't go, I can't go.

Regards,
Josephine

I think it should be somewhere accessible to public transit, unless some people are willing to pick people up from public transit and take them back.  However, I cannot commit to that weekend yet;  the following one would be fine.

Ok, how about somewhere just off the 401?  Does the GO run on Sundays?

Any suggestions are most welcome.

What sort of venue were you all thinking of?  Private? Public? Outdoors?  Indoors? 
I'm not very familiar with the 401 zone, I'm afraid;  it's just a place I drive through to get somewhere else!

Hi everyone,

That Sunday will be fine for me or perhaps the weekend before. Will be going to family reunion on the Saturday that weekend in S. Ont.. No problem driving another little bit to meet up with the Ontario  "chatters":-) on Sunday. Just let me know where. If some need to use pblic system perhaps somewhere close to that would be good .... unfortunately I can't remember T.O. that well anymore to make a suggestion.

Hi,

I am finally confirming my travel to Southern Ontario. I will be arriving likely on Friday Aug 17th to attend family reunion on 18th. Sunday the 19th is good for me to meet. Has the meeting place been decided? There was a person on RootsChat that expessed an interest in joining as well... the more the merrier.
