Is there a better way to spend a summer than sitting on patio on the waterfront? The answer is no. With that in mind, you need to spend the evening of Wed. July 15th at our release party which is taking place in the west end at the Royal Canadian Legion, branch 344 (1395 Lake Shore Blvd. W.).
DIRECTIONS TO EVENT:
On bike: Take the Martion Goodman Trail or cross at Jameson bridge, Roncesvalles bridge, or at Dowling Ave.
On transit: The 504 streetcar (south & east from Dundas West station) exit at Queen St W. stop > cross on Roncesvalles bridge > walk east to location. On the 504 streetcar (westbound) exit at Jameson stop > walk south > cross on Jameson bridge > walk west to location. Another option for the 504 streetcar (westbound) is to exit at Dowling stop > walk south on Dowling > cross Lake Shore at lights > location is right there.
By car: There is a public parking lot just east of Legion Hall on south side of Lake Shore Blvd.
From 8-8:30pm the event will double as the ceremony for our 2015 winners of the Jane Jacobs Prize. This year, we have three winners: their identities will be revealed the day of the event. After the ceremony, you can dance in the main hall or lounge on the expansive patio.

FYI – the Google Maps link is showing 395 Lakeshore, not 1395 Lakeshore.
Sounds like a great time!
Heads up that your google maps link goes to 395 Lakeshore, not 1395 Lakeshore. Might lead to some confused people hosting their own impromptu party at the foot of Spadina.
The link has been fixed. Thanks!
