WEDDING DAY! - SUNDAY MAY 20, 2007:
Church: The ceremony is to be held at:
St. George's Orthodox Church - 2:00pm
Bond Street Toronto, ON
If you are driving, the church is two blocks east of Yonge Street, North of Queen Street E (by Ryerson). You may park on the street (no matter what the signs say) - Parking permits have been included in your invitations, please be sure to put these on your dash board so that you are not ticketed while parking on Bond Street.
If you are taking the TTC, take the Yonge line and get off at Queen. Walk East two blocks to Bond Street.
Venue: The reception will be held at:
ATLANTIS at ONTARIO PLACE - 5:00pm
955 Lakeshore Blvd. West, Toronto Ontario, M6K 3B9
Atlantis is located on the waterfront between Bathurst St. & Dufferin St. in Ontario Place at the West Entrance. From the east: exit the Gardiner Expressway at Spadina Avenue, drive west along Lakeshore Blvd., turn left at Strachan or Newfoundland Drive. It is across from the CNE. Follow the signs into the Ontario Place parking lot and try to get a spot as far WEST as possible so you don't have to walk as far.
If you are taking the TTC, the Bathurst Street car will take you right into the CNE and you can walk through the CNE grounds to Ontario Place.
