It's been a weird year, I had to miss Halifax, and I'm tired of having to say "no" to travel plans, so we're going to do something slightly unusual here.



Based on responses I've received here and offline, Saturday December 18th we'll do the YOW Mini-DO, location TBC but within a golf shot of the Byward Market hotels.

...but since several people can't make it that weekend, but still expressed interest, I'm doubling down and we're going to do a YOW Nano-DO on Dec 11th as well.

All are welcome. Come to either, come to both, just let me know with a bit of warning so I can plan for numbers. I'll start a wiki above, and add in details as available.

Come one, come all, and support my crazy plan.

I'm definitely in for the 11th. The 18th, maybe. Lot easier to commit to Dos when the flights cost nothing

If anyone is flying in for the 11th and wants company, let me know your flights.

I might change my Dec 4 MR to the Dec 11 weekend, instead. Looks like fares are still quite low from YYC. I'll put myself on the waitlist for now.

Well the bovine is confirmed.

Unfortunately, SFO-YUL is now Y0, so I had to route him differently. We'll try to sort it out 2 days out, but if flights are Y0 now...

Maybe we'll fly in on the 16th.

I am waitlisted for the 11th, but will likely confirm next week.

I am booked on 8065 from YHZ in the morning of the 11th. Will likely spend some time visiting my son just across the border in the US during the day, and join for the Do Saturday evening.

I haven't been an FTer for long and I've never been to a do, but I'll be in the Ottawa area at that time, so I'll throw myself on the wait list and see how things shake out for me on the 11th.

Changed my booking to December 10 to 12, and moved myself to the confirmed list for December 11!

I'm going to book locations this weekend - if you're on the fence, please either add yourself to the "TBD" list in the wiki, or PM me.

Ugh if we're going to have secret attendees who can't be bothered to put their names in the wiki, I might pull the herd out.

I am confirmed for the 11th! Looking forward to it!

Also looking forward to confirming that the Mrs. YOWGary that we met at the YHZ Do is the actual Mrs. YOWGary, as she did not look like the description that YOWgary provided!

Thank you Gary for organizing it... I am okay for both 11th and 17th, since Japan is shut for good.

FYI, if you book a room at a Marriott property in YOW / YND the night of the 11th, all proceeds are being donated to the CHEO (children’s hospital) foundation. Westin is right across the street.
