Myself and the Missus are considering moving to Toronto in the next year or so- what's the gaming scene like there?
I currently run a weekly game group in Toronto. We usually game Sundays at the UofT campus (though we are all in our early 30s for the most part). However, our game group is currently full (I have 6 players). There's a gaming convention at the Ryerson campus this Friday and Saturday (It's called Spellstorm and there's a website). It might be a good place to meet some gamers and find a group to join.
Do a search for TRPGA. I think a guy named Rob Gettle is heading it up right now. It used to be connected with Meetup.com, but I'm not sure if it still is. I've used it in the past to recruit players for my game, and it's served me well, but since I've had a good group for the past few years I haven't been on it much. Rob's a good guy, I've gamed with him a bit in the past. TRPGA used to have monthly meetups at a down town pub, where people could geekout and have drinks. I only went to one or two and I'm not sure if they still do them. There's a store on Yonge street, a bit north of Dundas (you should know it if you game in TO). Its called the Hairy Tarantula, and its the best place in the city to buy RPG stuff. They do a boardgame night every other week at a pub nearby, so that might be another place to meet gamers.
There are a couple of Meetup groups you can check out, too:

Hey! See ya at Spellstorm there P.H. Dungeon! We'll be playing some Pathfinder Society on the Saturday so swing by and say "Hi"!
P.S. Seb30 - I second P.H. Dungeon's other suggestion to try the Toronto Roleplayers Association as a good way to start.
Thanks (I liked the pharaoh adventures you did). Unfortunately, I have to help a friend move Saturday, so I doubt I'll be there then. Possibly, Friday though.

That's cool - 'The moving buddy' is an important time honored tradition. I too am only a possible on the Friday, but if I make it in the evening I'll keep an eye out for ya, just in case. Have a good one!
Yes, look for the guy with long hair, six arms and the lower body of a snake. I'll also wear a red hat just in case you get confused.
