—–SATURDAY SETUP—–

VENUE ACCESS (Loading Dock)

To facilitate unloading and avoid car congestion in front of the venue, I’d like

  • everyone using their own vehicle to use the loading dock in the back of the building, but those who have a lot of stuff should bring a hand truck because the expo area is not very close.
  • If you are getting dropped off, please use the front door (see “Venue Address” instructions)

Accessing the loading dock
When driving south down Carlaw Avenue, you pass Gerrard and take the first right after the building onto Dickens Lane. Then turn right into the rear parking lot. The loading dock doors are about halfway down the length of the building.
