Ontario Video Game Swap Meets

I have been collecting video games lately, and I really enjoy going to swap meets. It is great to meet people I have seen on YouTube and to get great deals on games that I want.

Here is a list of the video game swaps that I have been keeping track of, attending, or want to attend. It can be quite hard to find them all in one place, so I thought I would do it myself for me and for others. Enjoy!
