Tuesday, 11	TTC's Annual BBQ - LION'S VALLEY PARK, Oakville	6:30 pm
We have a change of venue for our BBQ this year.     Our usual spot, Coronation Park, is closed right now because of the flooding caused by the historically high level of water in Lake Ontario and it doesn’t look like it will be opened any time soon.  Therefore Warren Beech and Mike Pearse have sourced a new location - Lion's Valley Park in Oakville - which is: - Located in the river valley under Sixteen Mile Creek Bridge at Dundas Street, west of Neyagawa Boulevard. - Accessed from the south side of Dundas Street; the entrance road to the park is on the east side of the bridge over Sixteen Mile Creek. - It’s a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the BBQ area.  Warren figures it’s about 200 paces. - Please bring your lawn chairs with you as we may be a little short of picnic benches. Look forward to seeing you there!
