Vancouver, BC

Ceremony
1pm
Dog Beach, Kits Point - Coast-Salish Territory


Reception - Performance Cabaret Dance Party
6:30 pm (dinner at 7:30)
False Creek Community Centre
Granville Island



Dinner -
We will serve a light dinner at 7:30pm, so please enjoy a late lunch on Granville Island or the neighbourhood before the reception.
Potluck - We are asking the local people to contribute to the dinner with a potluck item! Let us know if you are able to bring a salad, dinner item or dessert. It would be very helpful and meaningful to have additions to our dinner (which is likely perogie style)!

Ceremony Directions -
On the west side of the Burrard Bridge, turn North onto Cypress St. from Cornwall. Cypress St. ends at the beach at Kits Point at the totem pole. Just to the left of the totem pole are stairs that go down to the sand.(Be careful on the stairs) Walk towards the water about 100 ft & voila.

Reception - Cabaret Directions -
Granville Island is located under the southwest side of the Granville bridge. It is a 5 minute cab ride from the ceremony location. There is a walking path along the water from the ceremony location to granville island - it would take about 1/2 hour in fancy shoes.

Parking is difficult!-
Ceremony - There is very limited free non-local parking on some side streets. There is a pay parking lot next to the tennis courts at Kits beach, the marine museum, and the planetarium - all close (5min. walk) We suggest taking a bus, cab, bike!
Reception – Very limited 2-3 hr parking spots exist – after 8 pm you can stay late. There is a pay parking in a few places you will find if you circle. Again, we suggest bus, cab, bike!



*Bring an umbrella and prepare for sand at the beach!
