Here's a thought. I'll throw it out there, and you can see what you think.
What if 2, or 3, or more Ottawa area builders car-pooled and then shared lodging
in Toronto? Even if they were to come down for say the Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun of
the weekend. (of course everyone is welcome to attend all three days!).
I'm just wondering if looking at it from a one-person-at-a-time perspective is
making some people think that to get just themselves there is too expensive.
But perhaps by sharing costs, we could include several more builders.
Anyone in Ottawa want to chime in? Or, better yet, start contacting people in
your area to arrange something? :)

I hope to see you as well. Perhaps the idea above can open the door for a few
more people to attend.
Let me know what you think!
Allan B.
