Getting there
81 km (50 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.
The centre of Victoria is 4.6 km (2.9 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Victoria has 35 venues mapped in total and a population of 289,625. The Victoria guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 10th of 35 venues mapped in Victoria.
- 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.
