Getting there
24 km (15 mi) separates Universiade Pavilion from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

Edmonton has 68 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,010,899. The Edmonton guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
