Venue Details

Location

The convention will be held at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). It is located at 252 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON.

OISE is located on the intersection of Bloor Street and Bedford Road, reachable by subway through a direct connection to St. George station on line 1 and 2. Paid public parking for the building is located underground at 71 Prince Arthur Ave and above ground at 2 Bedford Road, with a limit of 2 hours for both lots. There are additional parking locations throughout the UofT campus, detailed information which can be found on the university's website.

Venue

OISE is a campus building open to the public until 9:00PM, at which point it remains open but entry is restricted. We ask that attendees leave at this time to give sanitation staff a chance to clean the building. The building then closes fully at 11:00PM, after which all attendees must leave.

OISE has accessible and gender neutral washrooms, lounge areas, water bottle refilling stations and hand sanitizer dispensers. These facilities will be accessible to all attendees. However, we ask that attendees do not use floors besides the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th. Usage of the library is also not permitted without a UofT Student Card. These facilities and the rules of OISE are managed by the University of Toronto and not the organizers.

Traveling Between Floors

Because of the expected attendance for this event, we ask that usage of the elevators is minimized by the able so those with accessibility needs are not denied access. Signs throughout OISE point to the stairs, and you can ask any volunteer for directions if you are having trouble finding them.
