Finding the Members Lounge: BY TTC Take the Yonge subway line to North York Centre station. The North York Civic Centre is a short walk from there. The signage isn't clear so you may have to ask for directions along the way. If you know how to get to Mel Lastman Square, head toward the doors on the west side of the skating rink. Once inside those doors there is a small flight of stairs (or an elevator to your right to take you to the lower level). Up those stairs is the Council Chambers. Go around the left side of the Council Chambers to Members Lounge (A). PARKING One option is to park in the outdoor parking lot ($12) on Beecroft Rd, south of Park Home Ave, across from Douglas Snow Aquatic Centre. There is street parking there as well (max 4 hours, $1.50/hr) . After parking, cross the street heading toward the Douglas Snow Aquatic Centre, and walk past the pool until you see doors on the right which say "Douglas Snow Aquatic Centre". Enter those doors and follow the signs to the North York Civic Centre. Make a left past the glass doors and take the elevator down to the lower level. Upon exiting the elevator, Members Lounge (A) will be on your immediate right. Another option is to park underground ($5) at the North York Central Library. This is further away and requires more of a walk. In the underground parking lot, follow the signs to 5100 Yonge Street. Once inside the North York Civic Centre, head over to the Members Lounge, which is on the Lower Level, on the left side of the Council Chambers. The security desk is on the ground level of the North York Civic Centre and can help you find your way to the Members Lounge if you get lost. --- Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/444227962753025/ Reclaim Your Voice was created in the name of peace and healing for all.
