I have an appointment in downtown Toronto next week, and for security reasons I can't bring my phone, a backpack or other bag larger than a small purse, any food, etc. I am coming on the train from out of town with a six-year-old child, and I would like to try to find a way to store some belongings for a couple of hours.
The location is near University and Queen.
We are not staying the night in Toronto, so we won't have a hotel room. We're taking the train, so we won't have a car where we could put anything. The luggage room at the train station is closed, so that's not an option.
The place where I'm having the appointment has no storage or bag check or anything like that. They don't give any suggestions other than leaving your items in your hotel or car. There is no way they will grant any exceptions.
I would really like to be able to bring my phone, a backpack of books/games/etc for my kid, a water bottle, etc. You know, the standard sorts of things one would bring if they were going on a long daytrip with a kid to a different city. I know I can use a paper map, buy disposable water bottles, etc, but it's really inconvenient not to be able to bring stuff to entertain my kid. (And let's be real, I'd like to have my phone too.)
Is there a place where I can check a bag for a little while, or does anybody have other suggestions for how to deal with this? |
