Toronto GTs meeting – Friday, May 24, 2024

Join us on Friday, May 24th, 2024 at 8 p.m.
OLD YORK TOWER, 85 THE ESPLANADE, (SE corner of Church St.)

Tentative topics and speakers are not yet scheduled.

Join us at OLD YORK TOWER, 85 THE ESPLANADE, in downtown Toronto.

This presentation is partially from our Toronto ‘backyard’, or should I say Ward’s Island (?) featuring no other than our ‘film star’ Bruce Weber, and partially from around the world. It will be an interesting start and inspiration for summer and fall travels.

At the meeting we will also inform you about the date of our annual picnic (most likely at Bruce’s place at Ward’s Island).
