How to get from Toronto Downtown to Pearson Airport

I am staying in downtown Toronto (near the Church/Adelaide St crossing). I will have to catch a national flight from Pearson Airport (YYZ). The flight is leaving at a proper time (around noon) on a weekday. How can I effectively (quick, cheap) get from downtown Toronto to YYZ by public transportation?
