All dance events take place at Christ Church Flamborough, 92 Highway 8 in Bullocks Corners, Ontario. (A short drive from downtown Hamilton, about 50 minutes from Toronto and less than an hour and a half from Buffalo.)
Ontario's fabulous Bruce Trail passes close by the Church and there are a number of splendid waterfalls, conservation areas and the Crooks' Hollow historical site within walking distance.

Sunday afternoon's concert takes place at the Carnegie Gallery in downtown Dundas, less than a five minute drive from the church where we're dancing. This beautiful, historic building (1910) was formerly a Carnegie Library. An artists' cooperative now uses it for exhibition space and to house their lovely gift shop. Please note that there is a maximum of 100 tickets available for the concert—make sure you purchase yours with your registration so that you don't miss out.
Street parking should not be a problem and is free on Sundays. If necessary, there is a large public lot around the corner from the Gallery, on Hatt Street between Ogilvie and Miller's Lane.
