Lakeshore and Parklawn (used to live at Yonge and Finch). Allows Pixie to get down to the Hammer for school, while I just spend more time on my bike/car getting to work.

And she didn't have to help with the move.

By the way Tiny, I responded to your post on ARIO. Stick with magnetic north lines and your navigation. There are many so called discpline experts in AR, but if you want to paddle better you find a person with years and years of paddling experience and knows the sport of AR - Bill Trayling. If you want to be a better cyclist you don't ask a good AR team (Crikey, my team does well but I can't change a tube yet) - you ask a good MTB'er that may have AR experience - Kevin Wallace. I made the mistake of getting lessons on climbing from an AR enthusiast. When I went to the climbing expert I felt more comfortable. So, if you want to improve navigation learn from the orienteers like you have done. I don't know why AR race directors and AR racing gurus believe that navigation is different for the different sports. The skills are the same. You apply different ones at different key times. You need to keep the map oriented and to do that you want mag north lines. And it is true, I have never owned a compass with declination on it and our team has done OK in the sport.
