Walk it Off - Newmarket, Ontario

Hey sherry, I think I will attend yes! I haven't used the public wheelchair transit myself (TTC Wheeltrans) but do you think you could ride a GO bus up to Newmarket? If you check out this GO Transit Route Map you'll see that there's a bus directly from Union Station to Newmarket. I just did a route fare check for Toronto to here and it's only $8.80!
