Univex Mercury 35mm camera from the Spring Fair in 2001
Toronto. Our spring fair a quarter century ago, was held just north of the city in the Soccer Centre. Mark Singer added a free bus service from the TTC subway for the convenience of some attendees.
The centre also offered lots of free parking. The fair was well attended. We were searching for a better venue and moved up to Markham as one of our members was prominent in the Soccer Centre at that time.
In issue 27-1. there are two pages of items and scenes at the fair as photographed and written by editor Lansdale. One of his many choices shown above left was an American Univex Mercury camera with its unusual shape.
Our current Spring Fair (2026) is set for May 24th down at Trident Hall (Islington and Evans) in southwest Toronto. The Hall has easier access via TTC and free parking in the area. As we approach the date, a poster and details will be pinned to this web site.
