Hey there!

As far as car meets go, stay updated with this sub-forum as meetups are being arranged more frequently now that the weather is cooperating a little better.

Recently, there was a meet that had some 30+ FRS/BRZs show up, and some of the guys from that meet are trying to arrange a bi-weekly meet starting here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65602

There's also a group called BRZ World that hosts events on Facebook.

Bring your skis, Collingwood has the best Ontario has to offer. Blue mountain also has good downhill biking, if you're into that. Wasaga beach is half decent.

Check out TLMC http://www.twinlakesmc.org/ they put on some autocross events throughout the summer in the Barrie Molson Center parking lot which is close to the base

Awesome guys thanks for the info. Any idea what I'll be paying for insurance per month?
In BC I have 40% discount
I'm 24, no accidents... It's around $140 a month right now

23 here, and I'm paying $180 a month, no accidents/tickets either. So you're probably not too far off from $140.

Thank god. I was thinking it would be double lol

Welcome to eastern Canada!

Toronto Motorsports Park (TMP) and Canadian Tire Mostorsprt Park (CTMP formerly known as Mosport) are the closest tracks to CFB Borden (each about 2 hours from the base). If you want to travel east toward Ottawa there is also Shannonville Mostorsport Park (SMP) near Kingston and Calabogie Motorsports Park (CMP) about 1 hour northwest-ish of Ottawa. Further west there is Grand Bend Raceway (GBR) on the shores of lake Huron that doubles as a great vacation spot for non-motorsport family members.

CTMP actually has 2 tracks, the Grand Prix track (10 turns and very fast) and the Driver Development Track (known at the DDT it is newly paved and widenened). TMP also has a drag strip as does SMP and GBR.

There are many meets in the GTA area, many of which are not associated with any clubs and usually organized via forums such as this one or others.

A few links for you:

Is it illegal to have tinted windows in Ontario?
I assume I'll have to get an inspection done for switching provinces,
