Hi all, I'm considering going to this for the first time and have never been to Canada/Toronto.  Could some of you veterans give me some input on good places to stay or tips for the area?

Thanks!

[Parsad]

Hi Racemize,

I highly recommend that you stay at a hotel in the downtown core...in particular, not too far (within a short taxi ride) from the Fairmont Royal York or Roy Thomson Hall.  Plenty to do downtown, and lots of restaurants, bars, etc.  There is a good airport shuttle that runs regularly from the airport to seven main hotels downtown, and is less than half the price of a cab.  Although if you come with your family or a friend, then a cab is a good alternative.  I'm sure others will be able to give you more tips.  Cheers!

About 40% sold on the buffet tickets already.  If you have not bought, you should do so in the next few weeks. 

We have tons of the single-seat, no dinner tickets.  Only one sold so far.  Cheers!

Hello all.  First time poster but I have been following the board closely since investing in Fairfax several years ago.  I think very highly of the organization and of Prem in particular.   I find this board is extremely interesting and educational.    I work in the insurance industry and am excited about the prospects of Fairfax given how they are so well positioned.   

I just signed up for the shareholder's dinner and very much looking forward to meeting many of you.  Many thanks to Sanjeev for all that you do with this Board and website-- it is amazing!

Happy New Year to you all!

Hi Hudsonguy,

Welcome to the board!  I think if you ask anyone on this board who has attended the dinner or the AGM, you will thoroughly enjoy both events.  See you there!  Cheers!

Hi Folks,

Just a couple of updates on the dinner. 

1)  Since only a couple of people have bought the single seat, no dinner tickets, I don't want them to be sitting by themselves in the back.  Instead, those that have bought dinner and those that have not will just have different color nametags, but everyone will sit together on the round banquet tables.

2)  We are about 50% sold already, so please finalize your plans and buy your tickets in the next few weeks, as we will probably be sold out by March/April.

Cheers!

Hi Folks,

We are 60% sold, so please get your orders in, as they are going fast.  Cheers!
