FROM THE TSAWWASSEN FERRY TERMINAL

.

DRIVING
From terminal head northeast on highway 17 (it's the only way to go). Take the highway 99 exit heading north (it will be clearly labeled as the exit to Vancouver). Keep heading north. Eventually this becomes Oak Street. When you are in Vancouver-proper (after crossing the Oak street bridge) go to 41st avenue and take a left turn (west) onto 41st. Keep going until you reach Granville street and then make a right (north) turn onto Granville. Keep going until you are downtown. NOTE: part of Granville street downtown is not open to vehicle traffic (except taxis and buses). You are better off taking the (right-lane) exit onto Seymour street when you are approaching the north side of the Granville street bridge.

The conference hotels are very close to the conference venue (see map).

PUBLIC TRANSIT
Take the number 620 bus outside the terminal building to the Bridgeport skytrain station (skytrain is Vancouver's rapid transit rail system). Once you are at the Bridgeport skytrain station platform, wait for the CANADA LINE TO WATERFRONT northbound train. They are fairly frequent.

If you are going to the conference venue, take the train all the way to the Waterfront Station (last stop), and then walk along Hastings St. to the conference venue. (Click here for a map of the area.)

The conference hotels are within easy walking distance of the conference venue (see map).
