The World of Commodore Expo will be held at the Alderwood United Church,
located at
44 Delma Drive
(click for map) which is south of Sherway Gardens and west of Browns Line. Exit the QEW or southbound 427 to
Evans Avenue, turn south at the lights onto Gair Drive and follow Gair to Delma Drive. The church is a twenty
minute drive (approximately) from Pearson International Airport or downtown Toronto.
The World of Commodore is also easily accessible by public transit. The
TTC
(Toronto Transit Commission) offers rapid and reliable service. Take the
123 Shorncliffe South
bus which departs the Kipling subway station every twenty minutes (check the TTC's
schedule
for up-to-date information) and can drop you off on Evans at Gair. The trip takes between ten and fifteen minutes
and the driver will announce the stop upon request. From there it is a five to ten minute walk to the Alderwood
United Church. |
