HOW TO GET THERE?
DRIVING: from the south side of the river, head north on Meridian Street (Hwy 14 or Anthony Henday east) to 131 Avenue, turn right.
Do NOT Park along the main road from the gate to the scales - keep this clear for tour busses to bypass lineups and stay on schedule. Follow directions/signs from parking attendants
IF YOU ARE WORKING THAT DAY:
Drive through the scalehouse, let the attendant know you are there to work the event. Take the first right and park at the Operations Building - a shuttle will transfer everyone to the event site.CHECK IN at Volunteer Lounge, behind the reception desk in the Administration Building, and you will be directed to your station (Map in Volunteer Area. Note: Plan to be a little early due to the TRAINS - there are railway tracks crossing the route just north of the Yellowhead and you may have to wait 10 to 30 minutes for trains. This may lead to delays throughout the day, so be ready for quiet times followed by a large group arriving.
LUNCH is provided after the morning shift (stick around!) and prior to the afternoon shift (so arrive around 12). Coffee, tea, juice, and snacks provided throughout the day. Bring your water bottle, travel mug, and name tag. Food is on-side concession style, so if you have dietary requirements please bring some food along as we cannot confirm ingredients.
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER - even if you will be working inside.
