Toronto Boost Meeting Reminder

From: Beman Dawes (beman_at_[hidden])

The Toronto Boost meeting will be held at 1 PM, Sunday, October 22:

Novotel Toronto Centre
45 The Esplanade
Toronto, Ontario
M5E 1W2
Tel: [phone]

The hotel probably has a signboard announcing meeting rooms. It's a guess 
as to how they will list the room we will be using.  Might be "IBM", might 
be "J16" or "WG21" or "ISO" or some combination.  Ask at the desk if not 
obvious.

Air travel into Toronto should use Toronto-Pearson International
Airport (YYZ).

Information about Pearson is available at:

The easiest means of transportation from Pearson to the hotel is airport
limousine or taxi. You can pick up a limousine from the queue at arrivals,
or you can make arrangements in advance. Aerofleet charges C$34 for a
one-way trip. They can be reached at [phone].

A more economical option is to take the downtown-bound Airport Express bus.
Tell the driver that you're going to the Novotel. You will be driven to
the Metro Coach Terminal, where a van will be waiting to shuttle you to the
hotel. A one-way trip takes about an hour and costs C$16.75. A round-trip
costs C$28.00. The bus departs from the arrivals level at the airport every
40 minutes.

If you are planning to drive, take highway 427 to Queensway East Toronto.
Exit at Yonge Street North. Travel north on Yonge Street for about one
minute and turn right onto The Esplanade. The hotel will be on your right.
