Getting there
59 km (37 mi) to Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 36 km (22 mi) from the middle of Saanich — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Saanich has 6 venues mapped in total and a population of 117,735. The Saanich guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
2,040 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
- community meetings
Room for 2,040 covers most community and member meetings.
