Toronto, Canada area Assistance. please

On a trip to Canadian Jr Track Nationals in Bromont Quebec and just landed in Toronto on a flight from Vancouver, BC.

One of my racers forgot her aero over shoes, can anyone suggest a cycling shop in the Toronto area that might have such a thing or some thing like Velo Tozs boots/covers, and where the best place to shop for some organic food, please

Thanks!

Many thanks Pdonk, just hanging at a generic Hilton out by Pearson airport, only overnighting and driving up to Bromont tomorrow, thought finding over shoes in TO more likely than the alternatives on the way to Bromont.

Any contact info for roadkill on tecumseh nothing comes up on Google?

LOL, that's because it's roadkit.com. Autocorrect is hilarious.

Mariposa is very involved in track racing.
They are just off the Don Valley Parkway.
Try them.

Some good shops in Bromont as well. More MTB focused, but plenty of options. And yes, if you stop in MTL lots of good shops. Feel free to reach out if you need suggestions in MTL

Sorry for the autocorrect misdirection.

Since your at airport the whole foods at square one is likely the easiest place to get to for food shopping

Thanks Paceliners for all your suggestions, most were tried at some point, in the end The 11th Inc. came up with and sponsored with some Assos Summerbootie S7 Shoe Covers in the correct size and Whole Foods was able to meet the nutrition needs.

Thanks again for all your advice and ideas.
