A European-style Hacker/Maker Camp to be held just outside of Hamilton in Southwestern Ontario.

We don't have one yet, but for planning purposes, consider the following map - we intend to be pretty much in the centre of the map - to the south and west of Toronto - somewhere on a line between Kitchener and Hamilton.
