Airport Pickup:
Please inform us if you will be flying into one of the Toronto Airports and would need someone to pick you up and/or drop you off. Please inform us as early as possible, but this must be before the end of June so we can make arrangements. Please remember Lindsay is approximately 2 hours from the Toronto Airports and you will need to be at the airport 2 hours prior to your flight time for US flights and 4 hours for International flights for the Toronto Pearson Airport. Therefore, very early morning flights or return flights leaving a few hours after Kaizen are not recommended.
