Most people will fly to Toronto Pearson International Airport. Upon arrival you can take a taxi, the Toronto Airport Express, or public transit airport service. On Saturday, we may arrange a shared transportation option back to the airport, since many people have flights departing around the same time.
Some may fly to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. This is fairly close to the meeting location and various island airport ground transport options are available.
Train users will go to Toronto Union Station. It is near the meeting location and public transit is available.
