How to Get There:
Event Directions:St. Clair Subway Station is located at Yonge and St Clair Ave. East. Look for me at the entrance of the station, just passing the turnstiles. Besides the Mc Donalds in the south sidewalk of St. Clair Ave. East. Notice that there is one McDonalds inside the station with the street cars, that is the WRONG McDonalds!!!
