Quilt Canada 2015 is rapidly approaching. In less than a week, the
LOC will begin to hang the quilts in anticipation of an amazing show that will
leave you Blown Away! But there are some practical matters that I should
address here. In order to enjoy the show, you have to get to the show.
Time
for some directions!
The University of Lethbridge is in West Lethbridge, and it is quite easy to
get to. If you are coming from the Lethbridge Airport, you can take a taxi to
the University. As
mentioned in a previous post, Royal Taxi is offering a special flat rate of
$30 for the trip. You have to specifically mention that you are in town for
Quilt Canada to get this special rate.
Head for Lot E (marked on the map in light blue). There is free parking
here for those attending the quilt show! The building marked in green, the
First Choice Savings Centre for Sports and Wellness, is where Registration, the
NJS show, merchant mall, and Weeks Ringle lecture are. The Closing Banquet is
in the Student's Union Building, marked in pink. The building you are in for
workshops will depend on which workshop you are taking. I recommend printing
out the MAP, which you can find in this link, and taking it with you.

If you are driving in from out of town, whether you're coming from Calgary
or Saskatchewan or Southern BC, you will be coming into Lethbridge on Hwy 3.
You will need to take the exit for 'West Lethbridge' and head South. This will
take you onto University Drive. Continue South on Univesity Drive for roughly
5 km until you reach Valley Road W, and then turn left into the University.

For those are staying overnight at the University of Lethbridge, you will
be staying at Mount Blakiston Residence, marked on the map in tan. To get from
the Residence to the show, you will need to walk along the path marked in blue.
It will take you approximately 7 minutes to walk to the First Choice Savings and
Wellness Centre where the quilts are being displayed.
We, the LOC, hope you are Blown Away by the beauty of both the University
and its setting in the coulees, as well as the quilts that will be on display.
We look forward to seeing you there. Only 8 more days!
