Parking at Coronation!

Full details here
tl;dr version:
– There is paid parking near, but it fills up fast on Saturdays. If you’re not early, you’re probably not getting in.
– There is a loading zone right in front, 1 car at a time –> FIVE MINUTES MAX <–
– Bring your stuff Friday night for an easy unload.
– If you bring your gear Friday, you can carpool or take transit on Saturday and not care about parking. 🙂

Feast Info

Due to complications with the kitchen at the venue, our feast has been cancelled for this year. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

For those dining off-board, we will set up a couple tables as well as plenty of picnic space in the Courtroom and Merchant Room. Please be mindful of crumbs on the carpeted floor in the Courtroom!

For those going off-site, the event is located just off Edmonton’s iconic Whyte Avenue, with a great variety of restaurants, bars, pubs, and convenience stores in walking distance. We’ll see you back in time for court at 6:30!
