HOW TO GET TO THE EVENT:

By Bus:

Any Bus that travels along Hastings street past the PNE fairgrounds (#s 004 for example) will pass the Community Centre (South Side) – ask the driver to let you off near the Renfrew and Hastings intersection.

By Car:

There is no direct car access to the Sanctuary. Turn South from Hastings Street on to Lillooet Street to find street parking closest to the Community Centre – or there is a large public lot available two clocks East on Hastings Street that is a short walk from the site.

Walking:

Find the intersection at Renfrew and Hastings, walk past the runners' statue northeast into the PNE, to the first large building, the Garden Auditorium
