Ready to get your game on!?!
We begin today's adventure at Ubisoft Toronto - Location 146

Nearest Subway station Lansdowne
Ubisoft's biggest brands, including Assassin's Creed and Far Cry, two of my fav franchises, as well as Watch Dogs and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

Location 88 on the map
Hopping the TTC, we will tube it to Bathurst to get, what I think, are some of the best patties in Toronto, before surfacing.
Our next stop is a HOT location, 66.
Ted Rogers Hot Doc's movie theatre, featuring Citizen Minutes - a series of shorts about Canadians improving their communities.

Time for a beer and a bite at The Paupers Pub just across the Bloor Street. Depending on the weather, we may choose their patio or inside.
Back to the Underground to St. George to visit the VEMU Estonia Museum of Canada Location 41
For local Estonians, it is one of their most important cultural community centres, featuring diverse and lively programs.
Our next stop is Muslims in Canada Archives, Location 92.
Beyond places of work and worship, the collections highlight the ways that Muslims built social networks for leisure, community and joy.

The main floor contains the Ruth Upjohn Gallery and the Dignam Art Gallery, named after the founder and first president, Mary Ella Dignam.
This concludes our tour, though I will be heading to the Duke of York for a beer.
