Show Time - 1:30 p.m. Set Details - one set of one hour. Show Location - the main dining room. Parking - We have been assured that there is plenty of visitor parking. Upon entering the complex off Mavis Road, (the west side) a large visitor lot should be located on the right-hand side of the driveway. Directions are shown on the website for Origin Evergreen at http://www.originevergreen.ca/. On the main screen under `Enriching Lifestyle Retirement Condominiums,' select `Click Here.' Then select `Directions' on the sidebar located on the left side of your screen to reveal Origin Evergreen's Direction Map. Please NOTE the following additional information. From Hwy. # 401 either east or west, take the Mavis Road exit south. Travel south for 4.25 km. to the entrance to Origin Evergreen (approximately 12 stories) which will be on your right hand side. If coming from the Queensway to Origin Evergreen, the distance is 5.25 km. In addition, from the south (either the Queensway, Dundas or Burnhamthorpe) note that there is NO left turn into the complex from Mavis Road. Here is my suggestion. Traveling north and upon crossing over Hwy. 403, the second set of stoplights is Mavis Rd. and Eglinton Ave. West. As you approach Eglinton Ave. ensure that you are in the left lane to make a left-hand turn onto Eglinton Ave. You'll recognize the intersection by the Esso station on the south-east corner of Mavis and Eglinton; a Shell station on the north-west corner of the intersection. Note that there are two (2) left turn lanes but ensure you are in the right-hand lane of those lanes. This is important because it will allow you to be in the correct lane upon turning left onto Eglinton Ave. Upon turning left onto Eglinton, travel one block west to the first set of lights which is Heatherleigh Ave. Turn right onto Heatherleigh and travel north to the second stop sign which is Winterton Way. Turn right onto Winterton Way traveling east to the first set of lights at Mavis Rd. Turn right onto Mavis traveling south and the Origin Evergreen entrance will be on your right-hand side. 17) Saturday, October 2, 2010: Markham Fair. At the fairgrounds in Markham. Currently a 1:30 pm start time. Details to come. 18) Saturday, October 2, 2010: Wexford Heights United Church, 2102 Lawrence Ave. East, Scarborough. At 7:30 p.m. One set - 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Directions: The church is located on the north side of Lawrence Ave. East east of Warden Ave. and west of Birchmount Rd. Also note, there are only a handful of parking spots on the west side of the church's property. However, the street on the west side of the church is Roselm Rd. As you travel north from Lawrence Ave. East on Roselm the street splits into a two streets; Roselm Rd. to the left and Ellington Dr. to the east. My contact has assured me that there is no problem parking on either of these two streets for anyone attending a church function.[See their website]. 19)
Wednesday, October 13, 2010: Tapestry at Village Gate West,
15 Summerland Terrace, Toronto. [See
their website]. Show: starts at 3:00 pm with 1 set for 1 hour in the
main diningroom. Directions & Parking: From either the QEW east or
west, take the Islington Ave. exit north. Note that from the QEW either east or
west, you must be in the collector lanes to gain access to the Islington Ave.
exit. Take Islington Ave. north for 2.75 km. to Bloor St. West. Turn left onto
Bloor St. West and travel west for 0.75 km. to Dunbloor Rd. Note that Dunbloor
is the second street on your right after passing under the railroad trestle on
Bloor St. West. Turn right onto Dunbloor Rd. and within 50 metres, turn right
onto Summerland Terrace. Once onto Summerland Terrace, travel 30 metres and on
your left you will see a parking entrance and ramp. Take this ramp to the underground
parking for the Tapestry complex. Note that this parking location is NOT actually
under the Tapestry complex but rather, it is under the building just west of Tapestry.
Also note that there are signs in the parking area to direct you to the Tapestry
building. If you are coming from either 401 east or west, take the Islington Ave.
south exit. Note that from either 401 east or west, you must be in the collector
lanes for access to the Islington Ave. exit. Take Islington Ave. south for 6.75
km. to Dundas St. West. Turn right onto Dundas St. West and travel 0.95 km. to
Summerland Terrace which will be on your left. Although the Tapestry complex is
partially on Dundas St. West (on your left) your closest address to their location
is 5152 Dundas St. West which is an address on the north side in the strip mall
opposite the Tapestry complex. At the west end of their building, you will also
see what looks to be a very wide driveway on your left-hand side. There is also
a cement, monument type pillar on the sidewalk showing the Tapestry name and mosaic.
Turn left onto Summerland Terrace. Although the Tapestry building is on your left,
continue past their entrance on Summerland Terrace making a right-hand turn which
is still Summerland Terrace. Within a few metres on your right, you will see the
parking entrance and ramp. Take the ramp to the parking area and then follow the
signs to the Tapestry complex. 21)
