Parking

Since we'll be using our parking lot for our opening ceremonies, we ask that everyone park at one of the free lots nearby. These include Denis Street, King & Albert, and the GFL Memorial Gardens. (Don't worry, the Hounds won't be playing that night.)


Post-Event Meal

We hope to see everyone back at St. Vincent Place after the walk to warm up with some chili, sponsored by Soapy'z Auto Wash; buns provided by Cob's Bakery; hot chocolate provided by Starbucks; and cookies provided by Northwood Funeral Home!
