From Hotel Alma (walking)

Go out the main door of Hotel Alma and walk straight south as shown on the map.
Cross 24th Avenue and then proceed until you reach a T-junction.
Cross the road and turn right – you will quickly come to a pathway (you will see signs for a bike route) that crosses an alley and takes you out to the next street. Take this pathway. (You will see cranes on the skyline – this is where you are going).
You will come out on Uxbridge Drive (another T-junction). Stay on the same side of the road and turn left.
Follow it around, past the round-about to a set of lights by the gas station.
Staying on the same side of the street, cross over 16th Avenue at the lights and proceed straight ahead (south) until the next set of lights (another T-junction). Go the south side of the intersection and cross over (there will be a parkade on your left and construction on your right across the road).
Walk straight ahead until you come to a large building – you will see an overhead ‘Plus 15’ from a parking garage on the right crossing over to the Health Sciences Centre.
Walk ahead and enter the Foothills Health Science through the door under the Plus 15. You are in the Health Sciences Centre.
Follow the signs to the registration desk.

The registration desk is located on the north side of the HRIC Atrium. You can follow the signs or these directions:

On entering the Health Sciences Centre from the north under the Plus 15 walkway, go up the steps and walk straight ahead until you reach an atrium to your right.

Go through the doors and up the small ramp on the right hand side.
You are now in the HRIC Atrium. The registration desk should be just to your left, with the poster boards and tables set up behind the registration desk.
