  • at HAMILTON you have reached the western end of Lake Ontario, just stay on the QEW and continue NORTH-EAST to TORONTO
  • as you approach Toronto the QEW turns into the GARDINER EXPRESSWAY
  • continue east along the GARDINER EXPRESSWAY until you reach a cut off for SPADINA AVE., if you hit YONGE ST. you've gone too far
  • go NORTH on SPADINA, if you go south you'll be in the lake very quickly
  • continue NORTH on SPADINA to BLOOR ST. WEST
  • turn left on BLOOR ST. WEST, we are at 529 BLOOR ST. WEST, about 6 blocks west of SPADINA AVE. on the south side

   

• From Detroit / Windsor (Ambassador Bridge or Tunnel)

  • OR from the AMBASSADOR TUNNEL take Highway 3B to the 401
  • head EAST on HIGHWAY 401 for about 200 miles
