City advice
Getting around
We suggest going to www.translink.ca to get transit info
We suggest taking the Canadaline if you want to go downtown or to and from airport. It's about a 15 minute walk to the closest station at Oakridge Mall. Otherwise there is a bus stop 2 minutes away on main Street that will take you downtown.
Don't miss
The Saturday's Farmers Market is a must at Riley Park!
Bring your own bags and get some of the freshest goods! It's a 10 minute walk.
Getting around
We suggest walking down Main Street!
Main Street has dozens of restaurants and shops. You can get everything you need! Head down our street and take a right...within 10 minutes you will be at the grocery and wine store!
