        How do we deal with the dead moose when it arises in Open Space?
        Where do we go from there?

        Edith Rankin United Church is located on the west side of Kingston on Lake
Ontario.
        If you are driving via the 401, take the Highway #38 exit south into
Kingston.
        Follow that road down to Bath Road and turn right (if you go any further,
you will end up in a bus turnaround beside a shopping centre). Follow Bath
Road out past Collins Bay to Edith Rankin United Church, on your left.

        If you plan to arrive by bus or train, the most direct route for the taxi
to Edith Rankin Church is straight out Counter Street (which becomes Taylor
Kidd Blvd) to Collins Bay Road, where you will turn left, proceed to a
T-intersection (Bath Road) where you will turn right. Edith Rankin is about
half a kilometre down Bath Road, on your left.

        Hotel Rooms can be booked in downtown Kingston - The Holiday Inn, or
Ramada Inn are on the waterfront. Day's Inn is just off the 401 on Division
Street exit,
        The Journey's End is close to the bus and train station, and The
Ambassador and Best Western is close to the train station.
