A run to Ministers Island

Barb and I are tentatively planning a tour to Ministers Island near St Andrews this Sunday Sept 9th.

Ministers Island, was the summer estate of Sir William Van Horne, the first president of and the driving force behind the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Island is a historic property with much to see and to experience. Included is the link for more details and your perusal:

I'm trying to get more details but the office is closed today for the holiday.

 Here is what we had in mind:

 - meet at Black's Restaurant in Harvey for a 10 am departure
 - a picnic lunch either on the Island or close to it, perhaps Centennial Park.
 - there is a 2 hour guided tour of the Island at 1:30. One of my questions will be do we need to
   reserve? So please let us know if your interested in accompanying us.
 - rates for visiting Ministers Island.  adults; $15.00   seniors; $10.00. I will ask, what age senior
   rates start at as well as group rates.

  I will post the final details once these folks return my call. What we do need, as soon as possible, is the number of you interested in attending. The long range forecast is for sunny and nice weather on Sunday.....a perfect day for this type of outing.

 Thanks,
 Gary
