Local Details

Parking

Since we'll be using our parking lot for our opening ceremonies, we ask that everyone park at one of the free lots nearby. These include Denis Street, King & Albert, and the GFL Memorial Gardens. (Don't worry, the Hounds won't be playing that night.)


Post-Event Meal

We hope to see everyone back at St. Vincent Place after the walk to warm up with some chili, sponsored by Soapy'z Auto Wash; buns provided by Cob's Bakery; hot chocolate provided by Starbucks; and cookies provided by Northwood Funeral Home!
