good news: you're in trawna! I'm very glad to hear that you'll be back in the great white north (where we've had a milder winter than you did) and would love to get together -- and indeed to meet cuyahogarvr.
bad news: However, I have sad, tragic news. The Swiss Chalet on Bloor at Bedford (which was the mothership, the Very First Swiss Chalet Ever) has not been there for several years. It was demolished, was a hole in the ground for a long time, and is now the site of an almost-completed very high priced condominium tower.
redeeming good news but never fear! there is one at 700 University Avenue, at College (that's the old Ontario Hydro building/ Hydro Place, not sure what it's called now that Ontario Hydro has been split into two crown corps). I b'leeve it's in the lower food court/ shops area. (all this from www.swisschalet.com)
I've not actually eaten at that branch, but it's closer to moi at College & St George than the one up on Bloor St was. And I have even MORE reason to celebrate, as tomorrow (ie the day before you visit) I have my last lab teaching contact until after Labour Day.
So, I've written you into my datebook for Friday, and I'm using ink!

some humour from This Hour has 22 Minutes: "Congratulations to the Americans for their new Health Care Bill. Now get yourselves some hockey players and some better beer and you just might be on to something!"
in all seriousness: that's good news. See you Friday!
