24 HOURS TO GO...

Only 24 hours to go! The forecast is calling for some rain on Friday morning, but hopefully it will clear up by the time Relay For Life begins!

Here are some VERY IMPORTANT last minute details you should be aware of. Please take note of them and pass them along to all your team members.

First of all - rain or shine, Relay will go on! Cancer doesn’t sleep or go away in bad weather – so  for one night neither will we.


PARKING

We encourage all participants to carpool to avoid congested traffic and parking headaches! Parking passes were handed out at bank nights.


PARKING LOT

The main lot is the large parking area south of Water Avenue. There will NOT be any "drop off" in this lot. All your supplies will need to be carried to the Relay site. Crossing guards and City Police will be present to assist crossing the street to Canwest Park.

DROP-OFF ZONE

We will have a "drop off" zone for those that require assistance with their camping gear. The attached map indicates the route to access this drop zone. NO parking is permitted in this area. Cars will be directed to a spot where you must unload your stuff and then drive out and into a designated parking area. Gators will be available to load and drive your stuff to your tent site.

Access to the drop off zone is via Westbrook Street. Drive west on Pioneer under the train bridge and turn right onto Westbrook. Signs will guide you to the zone. If you come west down Waterfront Drive you can also access the drop off as indicated on the map.

There are many Impark lots in the surrounding area as well if main parking lot fills up.


DONATION DROP OFFS


Any team or individual who has not deposited their donations and luminary money at one of the BANK NIGHTS which were held on May 20, 25, & 26 at the Canadian Cancer Society, donations should be submitted to the Banking area at the Relay on Friday, May 28th prior to 9:00PM, by TEAM CAPTAINS only.

TENTS

No tents will be permitted on the field if it rains. In case of rain, teams will be directed to the concourse level with all their belongings.

RESPECT THE BALLPARK

As you are aware, the tent site locations are on the grass ballpark. We must take caution to ensure we do not damage to their grounds.

No metal stakes; please use plastic ones for your tent.

No fires, no propane, etc.

No dumping of ice on the field.

No alcohol

No pets

The site map is not drawn to scale.

We are unable to guarantee that your tent site will be exactly as shown on this map. We will be adhering to the ballpark direction, guidelines and regulations, and the placement of equipment.
